Breckland "Brit" 2011-07-02--056

"Britannia" 70013 Oliver Cromwell passes Spooner Row, working the return leg of the Railway Touring Company's "The Norfolkman" special from London to Norwich, this being 1Z71 17.03 Norwich - Liverpool Street (via Cambridge). The outward leg had run via Ipswich.

The tour was to mark the sixtieth anniversary (to the day) of the introduction of the "Britannias" on the Great Eastern Main Line, something which revolutionised the London - Norwich timetable. Diesels began to appear in 1958, and 70013 was transferred from Norwich to March in September 1961, and at the end of 1963 to Carlisle Kingmoor. It was the last BR-owned standard gauge steam loco to undergo a routine heavy overhaul, three years after that.

With generous timings, including 21 minutes at Ely, I had over an hour and a half to get from here to Cambridge for a second shot, passing Addenbrooke's Hospital - although the loco wasn't working very hard at that point.
