On the way to my first day at work for quite a while, and I thought I must have been dreaming. Waiting quietly on platform 9 at Clapham Junction (reputed to be Britain’s Europe’s busiest railway station) and all of a sudden the ‘Duchess of Sutherland‘ came steaming into the station.

Unfortunately it was heading in the opposite direction as the train I was due to catch (and it was a private charter with Steam Dreams) but I was sorely tempted to sneak on board.
