Dunkable Bath
Clan Line steaming through Oldfield Park Bath
Bristol and Bath were the destinations for two steam trains on Wednesday 6th October 2021. Saphos Trains ran a trip from the Severn Valley Railway with 46100 Royal Scot, and Belmond British Pullman with 25028 Clan Line from London Victoria. Due to cattle on the line near Oxford 46100 was held up so the Merchant Navy arrived first. While Royal Scot started the return journey on time, unfortunately Clan Line encountered shunting problems due to re-signalling at Temple Meads so was 84 minutes late leaving Bristol Temple Meads and 115 minutes late by the time she reached Bathampton after letting 3 IET's through. National Rail managed to do a reroute via Richmond so the tour was only 55 minutes late back to Victoria in the end.
