A trip to London with my wife to celebrate my birthday. I managed to get out and see two charters during our stay with one being more successful than the other! We had a lovely day at Kew Gardens where we met up with my mother and her partner who had travelled up from the West Country.

2. The London to Chester-11.05.24 I took an early morning trip from our hotel in Hammersmith to capture the steam-hauled London to Chester charter. Unfortunately, at the crucial moment, things did not go quite to plan.

3. The Return of the Jurassic Crompton-12.05.24 I took an afternoon run to Wimbledon to see The Return of the Jurassic Crompton charter that was bringing enthusiasts back from the Swanage Railway's diesel gala. The result was a little more successful than yesterday's effort!
