Planning a lazy weekend before next week's Scottish excursion, I stumbled out of bed much later than planned. Started to pick through some email, and noted entirely by chance that there were a couple of message mistakenly flagged as spam which were about last night's 1C99 down Night Riviera. It turned out that 57604 had failed at Dolphin Junction, a 60 had been sent from Acton to push it back to Paddington, and 57602 was heading our way with the 06:15 1C02 additional service to get the stock back into Cornwall.

Made some swift enquiries and let a few people know what was afoot before wandering down to the station at a leisurely pace. Whilst waiting, I was kept entertained by 66551 storming through light engine heading for Fairwater Yard. About 34 minutes late as advised, the sound of a horn at the foot crossing signalled 57602's approach.

Made some calls to those further down the line and headed into town to get a haircut. A fine way to start the day, and a rare sight to see sleepers moving around in daylight!
