50008 Thunderer & 50007 Hercules (masquerading on this side as 50034 Furious) pass Churchill Heath on 22 April 2022 with the Branch Line Society 1Z50 11:02 Burton-on-Trent to Eastleigh 'Honeybourne Hoover' railtour. This was a one way positioning move for the following day's 'Ore No More' tour of the Sussex Coast. This was also a welcome return of Class 50s to the Cotswold line, and brought back memories of the 1980s. It was BR blue or Network SouthEast in those days, now it is Hanson & Hall and GBRf. |
