Alan,
You are right about the bank at Toton, l found out it still there. Had my first day-out spotting in 25 years yesterday to Didcot ; some helpful chaps there gave me the same information about the bank. Seems most of the 60's are in view from there, so will look forward to the trip. Saw 60063 yesterday at Didcot, so over the moon to see my first one ! Another very nice chap at Basingstoke informed me that the coal traffic at Carlisle has dropped off, but does not matter to me, the chance of seeing 20's still working the mainline will be worth the trip. Will try to and get some haulage on the 37's and see the steam, that would be a real treat. Talking of treats, three were present at Didcot Railway Centre yesterday - 56005,50035 and 45060. They were there for the event this weekend, but could not get in, so only had pictures from the station.
Thanks for your reply Alan.
