First Mayflower of Summer - a photo on Flickriver

First Mayflower of Summer

            After a successful season in 2019 Steam Dreams have brought back the Tuesday steam hauled trips to Windsor and around the Surrey Hills for the summer of 2021. Rather than departing from London Waterloo as they did for the first season, the shuttles now depart from London Victoria. A pity as I particularly enjoyed commuting into Waterloo when they were running from the more unusual terminus for charters, but weekly steam especially after the year we've had is not to be sniffed at. 

LNER B1 Class no.61306 'Mayflower' is seen climbing Grovesnor bank with 1Z50 08:00 London Victoria to Windsor & Eton Riverside, the first 'Royal Windsor Steam Express' of the day and of the season on 1st June 2021. Photographic opportunities for the first shuttle are somewhat limited as there are very few locations where one can stand on the right side for the sun. I'd visited this location before in the winter when the shadows were far too long and had wanted to try it again in the summer, though the tree in the middle of the picture has grown up since then to obscure some of the train.
