Latter day trainspotter Pat missed it going north and mumped all day as a result. No such mistake this evening though. She was impressed, I could tell.
"I like red ones", she declared as we strolled back to the tower. "I don't care about 423's or your 567's. I like red ones".
"Yes dear" I replied.
She's right of course.

The sun has not always shone for Galatea. Here she is in serious trouble on 16th August 1953, at Wilnecote between Birmingham New Street and Tamworth:
Amazingly just two people were hurt when the train from Bradford to Bristol derailed and split in two. Galatea's crew were uninjured.
