Bill Andrews did his last main-line run on Sunday, and today has done the test run with 70000 'Britannia'. After he has finished with 70000, he will official retire from the railway scene.

He will be missed by railwaymen & enthusiasts.

46115 seems to be having an rotten year. Last year I believe it was the most reliable of the mainline steam fleet.

6201 Princess Elizabeth has replaced 70013 for this Saturday's railtour from Tyseley to Didcot & return over the Lickey Incline (with a Pannier at the rear).
