Description
We join Pathfinders Medway Medicaster at Pontypool Road Station in South Wales at 7.17am March 10th 2000, hauled all the way to London Victoria by 56 103. Open widow clips are taken passing non-stop through Reading, then we slow down to pass through Acton, past Wells Box and on to Willesden Yard. Next, North Pole and crossing back over the mainline. London Olympia, Earls Court and Battersea Power Station with its 4 chimneys come into view before we arrive at our destination, London Victoria. 56103 comes off our train to be relieved by 37604 and 37602 for the return run. Was this only 20 years ago?
