50008 Thunderer passes Mortimer on 25 May 2024 with the Branch Line Society 1Z55 07:03 Eastleigh to Kings Cross 'Hanson Hanse' railtour. The stock is the London Underground red liveried Class 438 4-TC set 428. 20007 is bringing up the rear. After London, the tour would continue as the 1Z56 10:38 Kings Cross to Kings Lynn, and then the 1Z57 14:31 Kings Lynn to Eastleigh. I had picked this location, as not only would the short train fit in the gap between the bushes, but also the low early morning sun would be at the perfect angle. Therefore I was not pleased when the sun disappeared behind a cloud just after I arrived, even more annoying was the fact that there was more or less unbroken sunshine on the journey home!
