I saw it coming up through Basingstoke. Wasn't hanging about, very Impressive. Not sure why there's a chime whistle on it now, do you know anything about that?

Was exceptionally impressive passing Worting Junction a little earlier in the morning. I didn't get any photos because for a change I was behind a video camera. Anyway - videos and what photos i did get of Worting are on my site.

we (the peak group) decided that the owner of Bittern was on board, and wanted to hear what his A4 would sound like. Either that, or they're testing the whistle for Bittern, and left it on since it worked. Not sure if I like the sound that much. Air Horns would be so much better....
