Banking on 'Britannia' - a photo on Flickriver

Banking on 'Britannia'

            The approach to London Victoria station os often congested with trains, and perhaps fortunately on this occasion it was not so hectic. Even so a pair of 'Southeastern' Class 375 'Electrostar'  EMUs, with No. 375814 leading, are doing their best to shield the departing steam special from view. This is Steam Dreams 'Cathedrals Explorer', 1Z11 1200 Ito Durham hauled by Class A1 No., 60163 'Tornado', with No. 70000 'Britannia' providing assistance at the rear. 'Britannia' had earlier bought in the first leg of the tour, 1Z10, 0734 from Staines via the Surrey Hills, and then had the task of banking the Durham-leg of the charter away from Victoria to Grosvenor Bridge. A departing 'Southern' Class 375 can also be seen passing over Grosvenoe Bridge, which spans the River Thames. Grosvenor Carriage Shed is on the left with Class 375 No. 375629 in situ. In the background is the dominating presence of the closed Battersea Power Station. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
