Thanks for the info, saltley 1394. Saw it pass Risborough about 10.07 this morning, but couldn't make out which (silver) 67 was pushing it. Anyone know the number?

Wouldn't it have to reverse at Derby?

Apparently it was 67014, though sadly I only learnt of the move about 30 minutes ago, so missed it...

Cheers, Geoff

Thanks for the loco information, guys. Forgot to say it went straight thru the down platform at Risborough - no middle road manoevres this time!

Could have gone Loughborough-Leicester-Nuneaton-Proof House (Birmingham)-Small Heath-Chiltern Mainline without reversing.

Had to go via Derby due to the limited route knowedge of Chiltern drivers these days, also allowed the driver to see the new signals between Water orton and Tamworth
