Quick turnround but everyone piles out to get their photos of the ends of the train. Contrast with the usual class 455 units plying the line! 5871 is in platform 2.

The tour was accompanied by a distinctly soft plush pig, not a plastic pig nor genetically a pig from Wessex. We will catch up with the plush pig at Shepperton.....
