6024 King Edward Ist is seen powering away from a 'pick up' at Bath Spa on a Christmas run to London Paddington from Bristol. Although technically on the wrong route for the Bristolian, the King looked smart with all it's express regalia. Worth the early start I recon!

record uploading time for me, it only passed an hour and a half ago!

  • Nice one Phil as always. Are network rail really going to put fences up? Surely not. I always thought this part of the Great Western route was listed.

  • Apparently, Network Rail don't need to apply for planning permission and can 'alter' listed structures if they seem fit too. I must stress this is only a rumour (quite a widespread one though) so don't hold me to it. =D

  • Phwoahhhhh, look at the King of kings passing through Sydney Gardens, a classic location for a steam loco! I was just around the corner from you mate on the stretch at Bathampton, my video is on here now she was absoutely giving it some along there, basically like in this vid but she obviously gained alot more speed on the stretch... Fantastic work mate great to see a video from this location from you, seems different to be at Sydney Gardens rather than more of a landscape shot, Cheers 5*

  • I'll have a look at your vid. =D It's a shame the microphone doesn't do justice the real sound of the thing. She weren't hanging about! I've been to Sydney Gardens before twice. Once for Bittern which was crap, and once for Oliver Cromwell, but couldn't be arsed to film it cos Mr Oldham were! =P Love the location though, shame they're apparently gonna put railings up! =O

  • Is that the train number on the front of the boiler?

  • Indeed. 473 was the Bristolian headcode.
