Traffic Light Tribulations
Locomotive Services Limited Class 43 power car, 43046 "Geoff Drury 1930-1999 - Steam Preservation and Computerised Track Recording Pioneer" brings up the rear of the Midland Pullman set as heads through Hartford with the first leg of the West Highland Pullman - a three-day luxury tour of the Scottish Highlands.
It was one of those mornings when the traffic lights and slow-driving locals were all against me and with the charter also running five minutes early, I only just managed to get to Hartford in time to capture the tail-end of 1Z43 06:00 Reading to Fort William.
Full consist: 43 055 + 44078 41169 40801 41182 41059 41162 40802 41108 41176 + 43 046
