5051 Earl Bathurst seen here waiting at Swindon to be joined to its chartered train 'The Merchant Venturer'. This tour had started out from Crewe having been hauled by Class 47 47 798 'Prince William'. The Castle had taken the train on the, almost, circular route from Swindon to Bristol, along the Kennet & Avon line back to Reading and then back to Didcot. This was the Castle's first main line tour for some years.
