I assumed she would be carrying on to the end of the year. I'm therefore all the more pleased I went over last week to take a final picture. Light was really superb for the 12 noon departure from Toddington on Wednesday. I was at Hailes Abbey, and 7903 looked and sounded superb as she passed. I took a couple of pictures on earlier days, one coming out of Greet Tunnel on the Tuesday and one near the last overbridge going west before you go under the three-arch bridge. A big thank you to the crews who kept steam on for me. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
