- Today was one of the 3 ‘Extended’ ‘Shakespeare Express’ with this one being the Worcester Shrub Hill - Stratford-Upon-Avon
The Locomotive booked for this trip was to be ex GWR Castle class 5043 ‘Earl Of Mount Edgcumbe’, the first outward down to stratford would see the locomotive take on the notorious 1in37.7 ‘Lickey Incline’. Unfortunately the 47 on the rear was to provide some assistance due to an amber fire risk as a result of the recent warm weather… the sound was still fantastic with plenty of other enthusiasts turning up to witness it also.
The chase would continue onto Widney Manor to see her at speed, this was no disappointment either. It was then decided after that the plan would go out the window and just be ‘winged’ as the route is known extremely well by me and having covered majority of locations numerous times it was a fair decision.
The final return leg would see the tour take to my local lines for this I did take some thinking as to where I’d go…. It was decided that me and Luke @blackcountrysteamvideos8021 would visit a spot north of droitwhich spa.. as I’d requested a tip off by the footplate crew.. the result being fantastic!
All in all it was a fantastic day for mainline steam again. Great to catch up with familiar faces during the course of the day too!

@@nige7577 hiya mate! Thanks for watching :)
Yea was good to get some film of them playing around in a ‘dangerous’ zone for a fox lol.
Hope you’re well
Liam
@@LiamsLocos 👍
You had another good day again Liam. Good to see the foxes out & about. I remember seeing the remains of a fox at Cradley some years ago, and another at Smethwick, they obviously didn't check for trains before crossing the tracks.
Thanks sharpo!
Was a bloody busy one for sure, its always good to film the nature side of it rather than just the trains all the while for sure!!
Dangerous place to be sitting by the railways for a fox lol
Liam

Cracking video! Nice shot at Vigo, where was 3:32 and 4:56 ? Great sound, earl looking great as always, keep it up!
Thanks toby!
First one was widney manor.
You had a busy day too Liam. I wonder if 5043 'banked' the 47 up the Lickey on your final ECS shot Lol! ..... Not sure about 'SOLO' in the first shot, the 47 had to work a bit due to fire risk apparently. Cheers, Brian.
It was quite the busy day brian thanks, catchy title gets the clicks, unfortunately I’m slammed by the algorithm and never get my videos the recognition they deserve!
@@LiamsLocos Yes, a good day all round mate. Just enjoy it and don't worry about the analytical's.
Most of my views are in India & Indonesia 😁.Cheers, Brian.
