A4 Sir Nigel Gresley 60007 is in charge of the Cathedrals Express to Bath and Bristol on July 3rd.
This engine is currently painted in the experimental BR Blue which I haven't seen on an A4 or any any other steam engine. The train will run in via Newbury, Crofton and the Avon Valley to Bathampton then on to Bath and Bristol.
The return run no longer runs to Box and Chippenham.
Details below.

I hope that the weather is fine and clear.

James's shot from BTM works, you were lucky to have sunshine, I had to make do with clouds and rain in Bath. Saw it near Bathampton this evening, moving slowly up the Avon Valley. Even my better half enjoyed watching this loco go past.

It was very soggy at Keynsham to start with and the clouds weren't far away! A couple of very heavy showers, but thankfully not at the time 60007 was passing.
