The train ran about 1 hour and 45mins late due to the class 37 bursting into flame's and we could not get a path back from Yeovil junction to Weymouth but we did get a record as Tangmere became the first BoB to haul 11 coaches unassisted on Upway bank, i will put the video on soon

"What happened to it?"

The 37 diesel that was to push it at Upwey caught fire and was sidelined. A replacement diesel was sent to help with the banking, but it had different couplings to the train.

1 hr 45 mins later! Tangmere took the train up the 1:50 on it's own in fine style...no diesel required
