Just heard it go by!


Must be one of these shown on www.ianvisits.co.uk - different date but same idea.


http://www.steamdreams.co.uk/images/Banner800Revolving.gif



Shown on estimated timetable for 28th July and map as roughly 11.15 so that would be about the right timing.


Guessing it's this either steamdreams or The Sunny South Special.


Be great to just hail the steam train and pop down to the coast for the day!

I heard it too. Reminded me of living in Brixton where we used to hear it on a semi-regular basis :-) I once did a 72hr journey on a steam train from Delhi down south. I'm so glad I was in India during the time they were still running. It was not the cleanest way to travel though.

We took the steam train to Dorset when I was a child, before we had a car.


You could stick your head out of the window and get covered in black smudges.

Don't wish to ruin the parade but this won't have come thru Dulwich looking at those maps. Denmark Hill to Peckham and beyond is used quite regularly, but you never usually heare them as the hill from loughborough junction to denamrk is quite steep so they tend to coast through.


If you look here for mailine UK steam, you'll see what's running where in the UK.


Next visit, according to the website is 4th September, late in the day.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
