1. Journey there & a semi-circle of South London-21.11.23 
The journey to London from Northampton was straightforward enough. In the early evening, I took an interesting ride from Victoria to London Bridge, a sixteen-mile large semi-circular trip through south London.

2. The Edinburgh Christmas Market & journey home-23.11.23 
Prior to our return from London to Northampton I set the alarm and made the journey to King's Cross on the Victoria Line to witness The Edinburgh Christmas Market charter ecs arrive and then the service to depart. I was really pleased that it was to be Deltic hauled bringing D9000 back to its native terminus station! Whilst there were a few enthusiasts about to witness the event, I was surprised that there were not more.
