8P 4-6-2 71000 Duke of Gloucester passes Islip on 17 December 2025 with the Steam Dreams 1Z71 08:18 Southend Central to Oxford 'Essex to Oxford or Bicester Village' railtour. The loco change at Southall had taken longer than planned, and the train was nearly an hour late as it joined the Chiltern Line. Some spirited running meant it was just 25 minutes late here.
