Bahamas from a slightly different angle….!!!
Here we see Jubilee Class 4-6-0 45596 ‘Bahamas’ from a slightly different angle, working the Railway Touring Company ‘Cotswold Venturer’ from Paddington to Worcester, via Swindon, Gloucester and Cheltenham, passing through Shrivenham just east of Swindon. I like Jubilees. I grew up with them. Every day, The Devonian, which worked from Bradford (Forster Square) to Paignton, was invariably headed by a Jubilee from 55A (Leeds. Holbeck). 82E, Bristol Barrow Road always housed a stud of Jubilees, two of which (45690 & 45699, Leander and Galatea) are still working on the mainline in preservation. Shovell, (51), Rooke, (60) Kempenfelt (62) Barfleur, (85) Trafalgar, (82) were also familiar faces around the line from Bristol to the Midlands and the North East at the time. It’s good to see Bahamas, with its double chimney, still working in its 87th year.
