61306 'Mayflower' accelerates through Chelmsford

The platforms at Colchester and especially Witham were packed with onlookers but Chelmsford was surprisingly empty.

After departing from the brief water stop at Witham back on schedule I was convinced that I was going to get completely bowled on this as the 10.00 from Liverpool Street to Norwich (90 001 propelling NC64) was signalled at the same time and they ended up only seconds apart here.

The B1 seems to have a leaking cylinder gland.
