Cathedrals Express to London Victoria, Froxfield
The train is on its way up to London having started its journey in West Somerset. The journey was scheduled to take about six hours in all, a quite leisurely pace. It was running about 45 minutes late. This photograph was taken at 20.04. Since the light had improved somewhat in the last few minutes before the train appeared the delay was a blessing in disguise. There is a comprehensive website dedicated to the locomotive, an A1 Peppercorn Pacific named 'Tornado' LinkExternal link This is the view I had when the train first hove into view Link
