Interesting, I and my wife were on this tour. We joined the train at Bournemouth, no identification on the coach window telling you which was our coach, stewards seemed to be non existence, the dining cars weren't designed for dining in, as they didn't have a vestibule at each end of the coach we were sitting in, so with all the anoraks leaning out the windows at the end of the coach it drew all the soot in, but it wouldn't be a steam tour without a bit of soot with your food! Not one of Steam Dreams finest hours. That apart, I was impressed with the class 5's performance, shame it had to go around the houses to and from Waterloo! That was the first time I had been behind a class 5 either to or from Waterloo, all my prior trips in the 60's were behind Bulleid's. Thanks for posting.

Great work, really enjoyed, is that a smut in my eye. :-)
Wouldn't it be nice to see 73096 back on the main line again. It would also be nice to see Eurostars at Waterloo as well!
22:16. Unfortunately not light to Nine Elms.
