On 19 May 2007, Vintage Trains Ltd ran the 1Z57 08:38 Solihull to Bristol Temple Meads 'Two Halls to Bristol' railtour using 4-6-0s 4965 Rood Ashton Hall & 4953 Pitchford Hall. Unfortunately the bright start didn't last long, as clouds rolled in from the west. However, a lucky break in the clouds occurred just at the right time as the tour passed Heyford, running exactly to time.
