The Bath and Gloucester Steam Express at Twyford

Saturday 27th of April 2024 and Simon's Train Adventures were at Twyford Station to see Black 5 number 44871 blasting through with the Bath and Gloucester Steam Express. It was a treat to see and smell it!
Whilst we were there we also spotted the GWR Night Riviera sleeper train with a pair of Class 57 diesels top and tailing returning to its base at Reading after its overnight run into Paddington. One day we would really like to try out the sleeper train!
We hope you enjoy our video.

Spectacular video Simon, not only you saw the Riviera sleeper train, but also one of the black 5s that pulled the 15 Guinness special on August 11 1968. When the engine blew it's whistle as it sped through, it was calling out, incoming!! Nifty!
I'm attending an online volunteer information session for Puffing Billy railway on Thursday, hope to get a good insight of being a volunteer driver.
I can't wait to get started.
Keep your steam up Simon.
Cheers
Kevig

Being a volunteer driver sounds very cool! Thanks for watching.
