60007 Slogging up Old Hill Bank

A4 Gresley Pacific 60007 "Sir Nigel Gresley" sloggs it up Old Hill Bank on the morning of Saturday 14th of March, with the 1Z67 Kidderminster - Lincoln . This train was running about 5 minutes late at this time due to being held at Cradley Heath after a Class 150 DMU had pulled to to a stop at the peg before Old Hill station for no apparent reason ?. Also of note was the fact that the Class 47 Brush was missing from the end of the train which was used on the inward trip. So all this was 60007's own work from a standing start !. Thanks to the Driver for the thumbs up,Josh,Nick for the times and Barry The Kettle for the lift and yet more information .
