MERLIN 27
5043 EARL OF MOUNT EDGCUMBE
Ex GWR Castle Class 4-6-0 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' storms through Henley in Arden to begin 5 miles of climbing at 1 in 150 with the 16:18 1T53 Stratford on Avon - Birmingham Snow Hill 'Shakespeare Express' on 7th August 2016. This was 5043's first mainline working of 2016 and provided a good test for the locomotive before its forthcoming appearance on VTL's Welsh Marches Express.
The new footbridge, to facilitate disabled access, dominates the station at Henley in Arden. Fortunately the old footbridge was saved and is currently being erected at the new Broadway station on the Glos Warks Railway.
