This tour, which was hauled by No. 6024 'King Edward I, started at Shrewsbury and ran via Banbury and High Wycombe to London Paddington, and returned later in the evening by diesel traction. It was also the maiden use of the water carrier on a public tour.
Seen near Beaconsfield station working hard - with what appeared to be two footplate members working the fire. The first two locations we sussed were not possible (due to too many people and grown up vegitation), so this really was a last resort, indeed we ran to get there. |
