I arrived at the A6 road bridge just in time for the booked 10:15 departure from Loughborough due to several diversions due to road works. It was 10:30 before I heard the unmistakeable sound of a steam locomotive pulling away from Loughborough that meant only one thing to me – more lax driver experience operations. 92214 CITY OF LEICESTER told me what I wanted to know. That was it would cause chaos to the timetable all morning, would be working the dining car express at lunchtime and then the 15:30 in the afternoon. It should also mean an early departure for home.
