 Six Bells Junction
With 73141 allocated per the website to the 10.00 ex Shackerstone, with 08818 on the next train, it looked like I'd be able to win brownie points by heading to the zoo at lunchtime, both required locos (73141/08818) in the book.
Pulling back into Shackerstone the new loco was waiting to take over ready for the 11.15 return, 08818, eh, hang on it's 31130 instead, the website says it will only work on Sunday, maybe the 08 is going on the back for a top n tail move, er no, not according to the station bert.
When yelling at the guard he's told the nearest station is Shackerstone, wrong it's Shenton, and he walks the extra distance missing the 31 in the process.
