It was difficult enough to reach Small Heath in time for a listed 07:54 start from Tyseley Warwick Road. But that was the departure time - surely it wouldn't leave early but it did! As I parked my car the cloud of steam visible in the rear view mirror announced it was on its way. A quick dash onto the platform and she was already on the main line. There was no chance to set up two cameras on a tripod it had to be shooting whatever I could. And still those drain cocks remained open, filling the well between the platforms with dense condensation and doing what a Duchess does best!
