Train: The Heart of Midlothian. Peterborough Edinburgh. (The Railway Touring Company tour).

Timekeeping: Approx. 2 late.

Number of carriages: 12.

Steaminess: Plenty. Lots of advance warning before heading over the Croxdale Viaduct in the distance.

Speed: Adequate. York Durham was scheduled to take 82 minutes.

Wobbliness: 6/10. Average amount of wobble. Rubbish panning again.

Things to note: Even when it isnt raining, fields can still be wet and muddy.

The great County Durham fog of 2009 had lifted by 9.20. Yay!
