Date: 28th May 1990:
dep: Waterloo 9.35am..25 Late
arr: Woking 10.04am
Wimbledon signalling commissioning caused retiming
and a stop at Wimbledon. 25 late off Waterloo. No loco
available so 50037 came round from Old Oak.
Pity I couldn't stay on the train. With a hectic run
through Clapham on the relief line, then 102 mph at
Byfleet, it would have been interesting.
