LMS "Coronation Pacific" no. 6233 "Duchess of Sutherland" on the "Shakespeare Express". The 12:30 ex Stratford rushes through Lapworth Station at 67mph
It's a good speed, but nothing uncommon for mainline steam, most are permitted up to around 75mph... what a sight, a king alonf the dawlish sea wall at that speed, almost beings tears to your eyes!
Good video!.
Going like the clappers

Terrific it takes me back to my trainspotting days at Tamworth in the 1950s, plenty of Coronation locos cracking 90+ mph.

She does it well, but doesn't put on the same fabulous show that 4965 does!
