Currently waiting for a train at Basingstoke and the Britannic Explorer went past us at speed (13:27) as 3Z10 on the way to London Victoria. Arrives at 14:50 before leaving around an hour later to Cranmore apparently with passengers :oas it’s listed as Unadvertised Express and not listed as Empty Coaching Stock.
Edit: It was at Victoria on platform 2 (just as not advertised) but no passengers were there and the Belmond waiting room was shut.

Ultra-luxury train operator Belmond has cancelled the inaugural UK journey of the "Britannic Explorer" for the second time this month.
A three-night "twin suite" trip from London to Wales, travelling through Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) to the Pembrokeshire coast, starts from £6,300 per passenger.

The impression that I got was that it was double headed to St Davids then T & T back to London. Is that a better configuration to get up the bank to Central ?
I was thinking of going up to Westbury White Horse on Sat morning.

Lovely shot, thank you Clan Line.
If a diesel with 12 coaches runs up to Exeter Central, will it need a banker loco?
Seems too heavy for a single engine to take up the bank.

It is supposedly running 'top and tail' from Exeter St Davids to Central and onwards along The Mule.
