GWR 'King' Class 4-6-0 6023 King Edward II re-numbered and re- named as 6015 King Richard III for the day on 11/3/2013, in recognition of the recent successful archeological dig which found the remains of the former King of England, Richard III, under a car park in Leicester. The re-naming coincided with a visit by Sir Peter Soulsby, Mayor of Leicester to the Vital Skills Apprentice Training Scheme being run by the Great Central Railway at its Greenacres site, adjacent to Leicester North station.
Here, on a cold, frosty morning 6015 King Richard III makes a dramatic departure from Loughborough GCR hauling the 0830 Great Central Pullman train special to Leicester to meet the Mayor.
