Probably was. That's where she's based at the moment, according to The A1 Trust website.

And running today from Waterloo to Swanage hauling The Cathedrals Express. Departed 0945 and currently (1401) just passing Poole... on time.

I must admit that when it comes to OO▸ ((Double O) - model railway, 4mm to 1 foot scale) gauge models I'm not a fan of the blue livery (as per Tornado) but I must say from what I saw she looked stunning this morning.

Apparently not as according to Steam Dreams they were told at 16:45 last night that this train will be diesel hauled.

This is because of line side fires caused by to arcing and grinding, I assume this is from the 3rd rail.
