There was no report on RTT for ages, right from way further beyond Oxford. I guess the two schedules were possibly set up for this on purpose. To think, this (well, not locos from different regions) would have been an every day sight at one time. We’d better start appreciating 800s now then. 🤔

Funnily enough, it's not too often I hear a Castle make that rhythmic ticking or clicking sound typical of Great Western engines. Watching videos I often hear it from Halls, Panniers and especially Kings - the Kings seemingly having a habit of accompanying it with a series of squeaking noises, too - but rarely from Castles. Am I alone in that or...?
