9600 WOOD END
During a heavy rain shower, ex gwr 57xx 0-6-0pt 9600, carrying a remembrance wreath of poppies, rattles through wood end at the head of the tyseley - stratford on avon leg of vtl's 'pannier rambler' railtour on 8/11/2014. Sister loco 7752 (L94) Was at the rear of the train also working chimney first towards stratford. This arrangement was to ensure both locomotives would be working chimney first for the ascent of the lickey incline on the last leg of the route, however it meant that all daylight double head running was bunker first.
