Steam trains 46100 "Royal Scot" & 70000 "Britannia" under strong lights at Bath Spa

Rounding off their respective railtours in the south west, Ex-LMS Rebuilt 'Royal Scot' Class - 46100 "Royal Scot" double headed with BR Standard 'Britannia' Class 7MT - 70000 "Britannia" to work Saphos Trains' 'Devonian Express'.

 

The railtour started out of Cardiff Central, with BR Class 47 - D1935 "Roger Hosking MA 1925 - 2013" at the helm. D1935 would work the tour as far as Bristol Temple Meads, where a reversal saw 46100 & 70000 take control for the charge south west to Plymouth. The pair would work the return leg back as far as Bristol too, before D1935 regained the reins for the return to Cardiff Central.
