Lifted the safety valve on departure from Bath Spa and it stayed lifted for some time, rather masking the exhaust beat from the locomotive.
With a southerly wind, no opportunity for the 'Coal-fired loco exhaust scent' to make its way up the half mile or so from Bath Spa station into Lyncombe Vale as happened once before, finding me as I happened to be waiting in the autumn dusk on the old trackbed there, on the little viaduct just before Combe Down Tunnel - the scent causing an unexpected scalp-tingling, on account of being a once commonplace event there now so rare and so distant.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

One final shot from Wednesday (and probably this year !)  I noticed from my photos that she didn't seem to be carrying much coal in the tender. |

Passing Cogload Junction yesterday, 27th August 2025, en route to the West Somerset Railway after completing its railtour duties at Bristol TM▸ . Fading light and small sensor phone camera, but I just about managed to get a half decent tracking shot.  |

Taunton, probably. That was from when she was pretending to be 'Lord Dowding'. |

Well done Jaymac. I suggest your agent now tries to sell that image to heritage lines offering "Starlight Express" specials around Christmas for use on their posters!

I'd love to say this was taken at Bournemouth in 1967 at the end of steam, but 'Lord Dowding' is in too good a condition for that (she was bereft of nameplates after 1966!) - but, no, this was a Dorset Coast Express in November 2016 when Braunton was masquerading as Lord Dowding!  |
