5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe hauls the Shakespeare Express up the INFAMOUS LICKEY BANK 

This was one of the new Shakespeare Express itineraries starting from Worcester instead of Birmingham.
No. 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' was today's locomotive and is seen tackling the 1 in 37 gradient known as the Lickey Bank.
Whilst the Earl can clearly be heard to be working the assistance from the diesel at the rear was, in my opinion, too much.
