5043 storms through Didcot - The Great Britain V (Day 9) 29-04-12

The final day of the Railway Touring Company's 'The Great Britain V' was to see Tyseley based Castle 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe take control for the run from Bristol to London Paddington.

This run was going to see 5043 take on both Filton and Sapperton banks, with 12 coaches in tow unassisted. This video was supposed to start at Standish Jc, followed by Sapperton and Swindon. However, the weather was awful and we decided to put our safety before 5043. No lack of effort, it was best to play it safe.

Our video is therefore from Didcot Parkway, where 5043 thunders through with a cracking Doppler effect on the whistle.

Thanks to everyone for updating us on the progress, it really helped!
