B1 61306 Mayflower would be seen working the Bath Christmas Market tour from Three Bridges to Bath on Friday 12th December 2025. This tour would be the last one for the 2025 season heading to Bath. The tour was booked to have been 71000 Duke Of Gloucester however following an AWS Fault on Tuesdays Tour this would be swapped out to be the B1 on the outward leg. The tour started at Three Bridges and headed down the Brighton Mainline to Preston Park. Here the tour would head down to Hove and take the West Coastway route from Hove to Havant wirh several pickups along the way. The B1 would then take the route towards Fareham and Eastleigh passing through Cosham. Here the B1 is seen accelerating away from Farlington Junction. After a waterstop at Hedge End the tour would then continue through Eastleigh before taking the Single Line through Chandlers Ford and onwards to Romsey. Following this the tour would then continue to Salisbury and onwards towards Warminster and Westbury. At Westbury the tour would be held at the station due to a passenger onboard requiring Medical Assistance, this would result in a 35 minute delay away from Westbury. The tour would then continue down through Bradford Upon Avon and continue to Bath where passengers would alight for an afternoon in Bath. Later that evening the tour would retrace its steps steam hauled all the way back to Three Bridges via the outward route but this time double headed with 61306 leading 71000 back to Southall. Enjoy
