Description
Join us on board light locomotive 37 219 on its journey from Exeter St. Davids to the Birmingham suburb of Kings Norton. This journey takes us out of Devon, into Somerset and through Bristol and onto Birmingham through the Gloucestershire and Worcestershire countryside. The audio is recorded from within the engine room which may not be to everyone's taste, but you can certainly hear that English Electric powerhouse working to get us up to speed nice and quickly. This was done as there was another driver in the cab.
