57312 "THE
HOOD" arrived from the South apparently to take
the Pendolino to Holyhead. 10/11/2007
Hooked up without problem
the 57 was soon on its way West. 10/11/2007
The object of today's
visit arrived in platform 11, it was the Bristol-Llandudno charter
hauled by 47828 "Joe Strummer" leading
47813 "John Peel" both in Cotswold Rail
livery. The train left a few minutes early. 10/11/2007
47828 is no stranger
to the coast and was a regular when in its previous guise as
"Severn Valley Railway" seen here en
route for Holyhead 04/08/2004.
I have no record of 47813
having worked the coast but it certainly has been to Crewe before
and is seen here outside the Diesel Depot in FGW livery and carrying
the name "S.S.Great Britain".
