West Drayton Middlesex 23rd April 2010

At speed on the Great Western Railway main line between Slough and Ealing and the only light is from the white hot coals through the partially open firebox door silhouetting the fireman's profile while the driver keeps an eagle eye on the road ahead.

Among the many and varied noises as we rushed through the night was the satisfying ring of the AWS bell indicating a clear road ahead. Southern Railway N15 4-6-0 30453 King Arthur is on the Saint George's Day (Sir Lamiel was Welsh) Cathedrals Express steam special returning to Clapham Junction from Stratford upon Avon.

Hi Pete

A very nice picture, which I really like

Fantastic colours and mood.

I am surprised there was time for photography though!

Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
