37114 Carmarthen 23rd May 1993
Well I've not been able to find out much about this tour. It's not listed on the normally reliable Six Bells Junction website and seems absent from the internet. Scant details on the back of Nick's print too. As far as I can see 37114 was named 'City Of Worcester' on the 2nd May 1993 and according to class37loco.co.uk worked a 1Z64 08.55 Coventry - Shrewsbury and then 1Z67 17.15 Carmarthen - Coventry. So did it work over the Central Wales line ? If anyone was on this tour or knows anything about it then any information would be most welcome.
*UPDATE* I gather that once the train got to Shrewsbury it was hauled by Black Five 44767 to Carmarthen and 37114 followed behind with the support coach. The picture would be the re-attachment to the train. Apparently there was a programme of steam tours in West Wales in May 1993 involving 44767 and 80079.
