(In joke) ja, ja, ja, ze shot vas krap.

It was much better this morning at Picton, with the empty car movement 
returning to Thirlmere.

Picton was actually very busy from about 06:35, with NR4/NR31 refuged on the 
Down Main for 44211/4520/4201 to arrive, and shunt to the Up Refuge, clear 
for SN?? 06:56 Up through train.

Following the departure of the Narcs, SN?? arrived on the Down. The RTM 
units ran around via the Up Main, then waited for 8212 (?) on MS3 (?) to 
clear, before departing for the Branch.

Got all this on video (no gloomachrome supply for still shots), then fanged 
up to East Gates for a last shot with the 42 leading.

Missed my train to work as a result.
Bugger.
