Oliver Cromwell with The Cotswold Venturer
Ex-British Railways Britannia class steam locomotive 70013 Oliver Cromwell crossing the canal in Worcester city centre on a grey, wet and cold afternoon on Saturday February 10th 2018. Oliver Cromwell was in Worcester with the Cotswold Venturer steam special from London Paddington for the Railway Touring Company. Here the Riddles Class 7 4-6-2 engine is traveling with just its support coach between Foregate Street and Shrub Hill after turning round using the triangle from Worcester Tunnel Junction. The narrow boat is considerably older than the Britannia, which was built in 1951. The boat, called Billy, dates back to 1892. A group of us stood at this point and I got the boat crew to reverse a few times to get it in just the right position for the shot on the 29-mile-long Worcester and Birmingham Canal.
