Description
Celebrating 30 years of Class 50 preservation, GBRf pair 50007 'Hercules' and 50049 'Defiance' take charge of the Belmond British Pullman to Worcester.

Here we narrowly catch the two locomotives passing through Kensington Olympia station on their journey to Stewarts Lane Depot from the Severn Valley Railway, with the locos passing under the station footbridge before being obstructed by a London Overground service. Note the covering of 50007's new alter ego, having previously carried the identity of 50014 'Warspite'. The weekend saw the name and number unveiling of 50034 'Furious' at London Victoria station, followed by the departure of the tour for Worcester. We catch the train at Hanwell on the Great Western Mainline, with the 50s rapidly accelerating away from West London.
