Title: Was Reg at the station? Post by: ronnie21 on Sunday, March 1, 2009, 14:24:36 Sitting at the traffic lights in Corporation Street about 11-30 this morning and witnessed a steam train going over Whitehouse Bridge, not close enough to catch name or number, don't know whether it was the brand new one just been built or what. Wondered whether Reg knew about this, or anybody else on the forum?

At the danger of being branded a boring git, it was 70013 Oliver Cromwell on her way to Newport. Due back through Swindon on way back to Paddington at 19.46 if anyone is interested!
