Steam train on Saturday: stopping in Charlbury

According to the organisers, the Cotswold Venturer excursion train on Saturday will be stopping in Charlbury so that the engine - A4 class Union of South Africa - can take on water.  Unlike the last few steam specials, which have all headed towards Worcester, this one will be coming back through Charlbury, with the estimated time of arrival around 5.30pm.  Assuming that people are allowed on that section of the platform, it will be a great opportunity to see this iconic engine close up before it is retired from service (once again) later this year.
