60019 The Cathedrals Express to Worcester

The first 'chase' for me since the summer. 60019 Bittern hauled a Cathedrals Express itinerary from London Victoria to Worcester. We see the engine in favourable weather conditions on the GWR mainline near Cholsey and, after a water stop at Challow, we see the engine gallop along near Uffington. I also went to Effington, but did not record the train's passage. On the return the train is recorded in fantastic style at Frampton Mansell on the climb to Sapperton in the rain. A brilliant day all in all, and well worth the meal at a local pub afterwards!

Excellent video, the final sequence with just that magnificent sound was reminiscent of the great Peter Handford recordings.

Not a bad day was it Phill, well apart from the rain in Frampton Mansell. Pretty chilly morning getting her but still she performed well in fine style. Im not up uploading mine till after doing next weeks shots and putting them together into one film.
