5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe Thunders to Stratford-upon-Avon - The Shakespeare Express - 2024

5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe on two short trips to Stratford-upon-Avon in autumnal conditions. Starting out of Birmingham Snow Hill, steam hauled there and back, and there and back again, the ‘Shakespeare Express’ ran without problems, with 5043 leading the way. The tour looked relatively full, as did the platforms at various stations along the way. Full advantage was taken on both return journeys; four shots in total! On Armistice Day, shots were taken at: 00:00 The Shakespeare Express 00:10 Henley in Arden 03:10 Dorridge (at speed) 04:37 Stratford-upon-Avon 05:15 Danzey 06:37 Wilmcote I hope you enjoy watching.
