5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe Adrian Shooter Retirement Special

Adrian Shooter's special retirement train at Hatton on the return journey hauled by 5043 Earl of Mount Egdcumbe with 47773 dead to the world on the rear. Certainly 5043 and crew earned their "Inter-City" headboard as on the Up run in the morning they travelled non-stop from Birmingham Moor St to London Marylebone in 1 hour and 55 minutes which can rightly be compared with the original Inter-City, scheduled to take 2 hours 15 minutes from Snow Hill to Paddington with stops at Leamington Spa and High Wycombe.
