70000 Britannia & The Cathedrals Express, Southall, 01/12/11.

A slightly disappointing show from Britannia today, running approx 35 minutes late on the Cathedrals Express fro Rainham (Kent) to Bristol Temple Meads via London.
Due to gauging issues in Kent, the train was diesel hauled as far as Willesden Sidings then Britiannia took over to continue the journey west from London.
Note the train crews and engineers from West Coast Railways waving from Southall Steam Sheds to one of their resident locomotive.
Also included is a quick clip of passing Southall with Tornado & King Edward I in the shed roads.
