Hi all, A trip out before Christmas to see A4 class 60007 “Sir Nigel Gresley” on the down slow line storming through Lichfield Trent Valley working the 07.00 Chelmsford to Chester 1Z86 rail tour with a lovely rake of blood and custard coaching stock. A class 47 Diesel brings up the rear but fortunately is blotted out by the signage at the platform end. Lichfield High Level station over bridge on the Aston to Wichnor Junction line is right behind me and from there on the overhead supports are between the fast lines in the middle of the railway as well as Budlier growing which gives little scope here for photographs.
