LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 44871 passing Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway. 7 September 2024

Black 5 44871 working a 1Z41 Stratford-upon-Avon to Norwich charter on 7 September filmed passing Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway station. Not a pretty GWR station but the nearest worthwhile location near my home and at the foot of the 1/75 climb out of the Avon Valley to Wilmcote, The assisting locomotive, 47848, didn't appear to be doing much work although it would have helped leaving Stratford station and was also used to turn the whole train via the Hatton triangle and Dorridge.
