(1) Spencer and I are on Pathfinder Tour's "The Gladstone Bag", a railtour starting in Swindon, heading for Gladstone Dock on Merseyside, via Hazel Grove, of course! We're paused at New Streety for a 20 minute layover and Spencer is in a typical pose. A pair of "Cromptons", nos. 33025 "Sultan" and 33116 "Hertfordshire Railtours" are the power, added at Bristol Temple Meads. This is the 1Z27 05.20 Swindon to Stonehouse, via Gladstone Dock!
