The Bristolian Saturday 28th August

Post by mow »

The Bristolian running via Bath, Chippenham to London. The 4 steam hauled runs are Saturday 26th June, 28th August, 2nd October, 4th December.

details on www.torbayexpress.co.uk

I guess that the first two will allow some photos with the sun behind the shoulders as the train runs to Bath and Chippenham in the morning, and some different photos in the evening light at Corston. At least at Temple Meads the train stops at the Bath Road end instead of under the remains of the grey box.

An 'AD' in this weeks bath chronicle shows the Oct 2nd. + Dec 12th trains as still running...and also give motive power as duke of gloucester or king.
