The Great Britain II With 34067 'Tangmere' & 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' 7th April 2009

The Great Britain II is an extensive steam rail tour hauled by many locomotives in the British Isles.
This railtour with 70013 and 34067 ran from Penzance in Cornwall to Bristol in Somerset.
5029 was to be running this train along side 70013 however because she failed on Sunday 5th April hauling the Royal Duchy Tangmere was then called up to take over from 5029.

In the vid we see the 2 engines at Taunton Station in Somerset running 90 Minutes late heading for Bristol.

Enjoy!
