Time to dig into the archives in order to fill in the gaps. now these you don't normally see in any of my main videos unless they were to appear. But first starting off with a steam loco none other than GWR Loco: 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' pulling The William Shakespeare charter to Stratford-Upon-Avon from Didcot Parkway. 47773 was trailing on the back and in the first clip is the ECS movement to didcot whereby the 47 was leading.
You don't see steam locos on this channel so this is ones Opportunity.
Offical workings were:
