A grim winter day at Frampton Mansell, but GWR Hall 4-6-0 4930 Hagley Hall still makes a fine sight, as it attacks Sapperton Bank with the Pullman Rail 1Z49 07:50 Euston to Swindon 'Red Dragon' railtour on 2 February 1985. This was an electric / diesel / steam tour, with 81014 working between London and Birmingham, 47606 between Birmingham and Newport, and 4930 between Newport and Swindon. This was repeated, but in reverse order, on the return, although the steam / diesel changeover point was then Gloucester. |
