It was alright today, though the driver was FAR TOO TAME on the 33s, even on the uphill sections :| I think i saw you Ian, on Alton station, and at the second seat bay heading towards Alresford?

I was wondering around the front coach most of the day, did the fitrst trip from Ropley until the last arrival at Alton. Afraid I couldn't recognise anyone but I had a black jumper/brown jacket on if that helps!

It was all very 25mph regulation stuff but to be expected I suppose, thought the lunchtime departure from Alresford was probably the best, although with 3000hp+ on load 5 never going to have to work too hard.

Indeed, should of gone for top and tail instead! Releasing the brake without even powering I thought was really really dull!

TBH I found Kinlet Hall a bit more entertaining on the downhill section!! :|
