Not far behind at all! It overtook me as I was leaving Dawlish, but the signaller hadn't set the route through Teignmouth for it! We both ended up rounding the curve into Teignmouth at roughly the same time - was rather cool! 😁

Yesterday's evening entertainment was the family friendly game of "Can you remember whether or not there's a 7 car mark at this station?"

I've now driven a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9 car formation, just need the 10 to complete the set!

6 years on the railway today and looked what arrived in the post to mark the day. A copy of the 1961 signal box diagram for Gillingham, around the time my Grandad started on the railway 😊
