The Welsh Marshes Express with 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe and 7029 Clun Castle taking on the notorious 1 in 37.7 Lickey Incline.
The trip was originally planned to return via Oxford and Hatton bank but due to ongoing repairs on Nuneham Viaduct it was rerouted via the Lickey Incline offering a rare chance to see 2 Castles hard at work. After a bit of a wait we were treated to one of the best performances I’ve ever witnessed on the bank. The train could be heard having a good run at the bank and whistling through Bromsgrove station before beginning the gruelling 1 in 37.7 climb to Blackwell without diesel assistance.
