20308 & 20311 Bromsgrove 6 May 2000

20308 & 20311 descend the Lickey Incline, and pass Bromsgrove on 6 May 2000 with the John Fishwick & Sons 1Z70 06:03 Blackpool North to Minehead 'Somerset Fusilier' railtour. As might be apparent from the tour's name, D1023 Western Fusilier powered the train over the West Somerset Railway. Both the 20s decided to shut down at some point in the journey, leaving a single 1000hp loco to struggle on with eleven coaches and a dead loco. 20311 disgraced itself on the outward journey near Weston-super-Mare, whilst 20308's turn came when it suffered a coolant leak near Stafford on the return trip.
