This is another one I sort of 'missed':

Was walking home after a shopping trip in Bracknell and thought 'that doesn't sound like a normal train'. Looked up and saw it through the trees as it had just passed through Martins Heron. Didn't see what was pulling it but no sign of smoke. Looks like they drop the passengers off at Newbury than park at Hungerford for the day. Maybe earmark a spotting trip later on when it returns.

Nearly £600 for a return to Newbury, another class...

2 x 67's normally work the Belmond charters.

It is The Bellmond British Pullman - they aren't seeking to attract enthusiasts or puffer buffers. They want high end people with discerning taste and wallets to match. They aren't going to be inviting me on board any time soon!

Return trip
Different route, pick them up at Andover, no chance of another view at Martins Heron.

Yes, does seem to the the top elite set. I imagine Highclere get a nice bit from it as well.
