Steaming on
Aug. 22nd, 2021 09:47 am The first steam train out of Paddington I've seen since the start of the epidemic went past my house at 9.46, presumably one of the usual day trips for rail enthusiasts. Didn't see most of the engine, ironically because it was too CLOSE to my house - it was on the nearest track and most of it was concealed by the wall between my street and the railway. Looks like it's this one, the engine is Mayflower:
