7MT 4-6-2 70000 Britannia passes through Heyford station at high speed on 26 November 2022 with the Saphos Trains 1Z73 05:43 Crewe to Bristol Temple Meads 'Great Western Christmas Envoy' railtour. Canal narrowboats and some golden autumn foliage add to the scene, augmented by some weak sunshine (not forecast). The only slight annoyance is the perfect reflection of the moored boats on the right has been spoiled by the wash form the narrowboat Nirvana, which is manoeuvring into the boat yard. The man on the boat's tiller is obviously momentarily distracted! |
