Britannia class no. 70013 Oliver Cromwell made it's first ever appearence in Kent on 24/09/08 when it worked Steam Dreams' The Cathedral Express tour from London Victoria to Canterbury West. We first see the Steam Railway Magazine Appeal loco at Westwell Leacon near Charing passing underneath the busy A20 road. We then see 70013 at Canterbury West, first taking the tour stock from the station to a siding, secondly stabled in a siding taking on coal and water and finally moving onto the tour stock prior to departure. To round off the video, we see 70013 pass through Sturry station working the return working of The Cathedrals Express from Canterbury to London and making such a lovely noise!
Enjoy the video!

Cheers Daniel. Was the first time I had visited Sturry and was quite pleased with the sound that 70013 produced when passing through. Will have to visit there again.
