Last Saturday the Shrewsbury-Kingswear trip took on Britannia at Taunton just as it has done many times this year.
I've recorded last Saturday leaving Paignton but not uploaded to youtube as it been here so often. Braunton was used one Saturday.

Below was the Kingswear-Solihull 11 June 2022

I've had a memory lapse and can't remember where I photted Britannia. But, we mustn't forget the other steam visitor to Bath earlier - photted passing Sydney Gardens.







And I was on a 2-car from Westbury to Bath and back from Bath to Avoncliff [I detrained at Avoncliff because it was simply too dangerous, packed in like sardines into the vestibule!]

With the drone at Tisbury. I also had the drone up earlier at Pewsey for Britannia. 'Stations From The Air' videos of both Pewsey and Tisbury, featuring the steam railtours, will be on my YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

Again, with many thanks for your excellent images, Clan Line, I've merged several posts into this specific topic (for ease of reference).  Smiley

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
