Dunkable Bath
Z48 powering through Sydney Gardens, Bath
1Z48 powering unassisted through Sydney Gardens Bath on Saturday 11th May 2024.
The tour marked 60 years since 'Clun Castle' achieved the then fastest non stop steam run between Plymouth to Bristol, only bettered by sister 'Castle', No.5043 'Earl of Edgcumbe' during the 50th anniversary recreation in 2014. Sadly, the challenging Devon banks foiled a reprised record run, with No.7029 ‘Clun Castle’ stalling on Hemerdon bank. Luckily the tour recovered with the shadow diesel assisting, which could then detach once again at Bristol.
We therefore see Clun Castle here in Bath on time, and powering through Sydney Gardens unassisted.
