The year before it had headed a steam special to Nottingham on the last day of through services on the Great Central Railway in September 1966 - 50 years ago.

Ex Southern Railways Merchant Navy class No. 35028 "Clan Line" powers through Stoke Canon hauling the return working of the Torbay express back to Bristol Temple Meads.
9 July 1967 was the last day of steam from Waterloo, and no-one could have thought that, 55 years later, it would be still be possible to see fast line long-distance steam workings there! With the sunset 'glint' option now having passed owing to late running, the signals provide the burnishing on the train as Bulleid 'Merchant Navy' 35028 'Clan LIne' accelerates hard through West Byfleet from its Woking stop. Signal problems at Weymouth had delayed its start by 48 minutes but it arrived at Waterloo only 14 minutes down. 8k video frame.
