35028 'Clan Line' Returns To The Mainline Hauling The 50th Anniversary Pullman 27/04/24

Saturday 27th April would see 35028 'Clan Line' return to the mainline from overhaul. It would also be the 50th anniversary since 35028 first ran in preservation with MNLPS in April 1974 from Basingstoke to Westbury and return. To commemorate this MNLPS & Belmond Britsh Pullman would run a VSOE tour from London Victoria to Bath & return. We start the day at Gratley where we see her at full flight running a couple minutes early, for the next shot we head to Bradford-on-Avon where we see her whistle through the station nearing her final destination of Bath. For the return, we headed to Newton St Loe to see her pass at good speed with the ECS heading to Bath from Bristol. Also included is 44871 returning to London from Gloucester on the Bath & Gloucester Steam Express
Thanks for watching, kind regards Tom
