60163 'Tornado' Powers through Parson St with 'The Severn Coast Explorer' 30.5.09

The first visit to the South West from Britains 'most modern' locomotive 'Tornado'. The A1 designed locomotive is seen powering away from the speed restriction on the outskirts of Bristol, having recently departed Temple Meads with 1Z29 Gloucester-Minehead (60163 joined at Bristol).
The train is running perfectly to time, producing some gorgeous black smoke to counter-act with a stunning blue skyline.
The Stunning machine leads it's mixed rake of stock through Parson St with a lovely whistle to the hundreds who'd gathered out to see her.

EWS liveried 67002 remains dorment on the rear after running the Gloucester-Bristol leg, before finishing the trip from Minehead-Gloucester in the late evening.

Apologies for the 'not so great' camera-work, I wasn't feeling 100% today to say the least..

Enjoy!
