I was trying to highlight the reference by Strafin in post 52 on this thread that those who take an interest in this subject are "losers" by pointing out that a large number of people turn out to witness these events. Are they all "losers"? Anyway - end of subject. For those who are interested I will continue to highlight forthcoming steam locomotive visits to Newbury. For those who aren't - just ignore the thread as I do the football one!

Looks like I might end up eating my words. |

The trouble is the NWN needs to research a bit more carefully as they cannot get the history of Tornado correct. She wasn't built by BR she was built by the Tornado Trust. She is a new build and steamed for the first time in 2008.

I wish they didn't always stop there so we could have a 'full tilt run through'! |

No - details say water stop is at Newbury. They usually run fast when travelling towards Reading. Last Saturday run past as in post 73 she was doing about 60mph. |

Some interesting and alarming pics here of damage to an HST yesterday after it hit a tree.
It didn't stop here but would have passed through Newbury earlier. Must have caused quite some disruption. Hope the driver was OK (or as OK as they could be under the circumstances!) |
