Just got back from the tour..... what an excellent day out..... No. 7 performed faultlessly......

Upon arrival back at KX tonight I learned that Bittern had been dealyed in her return from Cambridge so I had the bonus of seeing her arrive back into platform 1 (albeit 110 minutes late!)

A question:- When was the last time that two A4's departed Kings Cross on the same day?
