Great Western Hall 4-6-0 4965 Rood Ashton Hall hauling Vintage Trains' "The City of York" special from Tyseley to York approaches, at speed, the Whetstone foot crossing between Blaby & Enderby, south of Leicester. 4965 was thought to be 4983 Albert Hall when it was first saved from Woodhams scrapyard in Barry South Wales. However during restoration it was discovered that Swindon had actually switched frames in 1962 so it reverted to its true identity again.

The Shakespeare Express is a regular summer season, steam-hauled, service between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon operated by Vintage Trains using Tyseley's locomotives. Great Western Railway Hall 4-6-0 4965 Rood Ashton Hall is seen at Snow Hill. The modern concrete station is not very fitting! HFF and have a great weekend.
