© Geoff’s Rail Diaries 2013 It’s the sixth year for the steam-hauled tour of GB - and once again, there’s a local leg. Day three would see the train hauled from Cardiff to Preston, via the Central Wales line, by the two Black 5s we saw a few days back - we’d better go and see them again... Nine days ago, the pair - 45407 and 44871 - had hauled a train southbound over the same route from Shrewsbury. They’d been a minute early through All Stretton. Today, once again, they were, if anything, running slightly early - leaving Craven Arms on time, they’d passed through Marshbrook (I learned on returning home - thanks again to Realtime Trains) a minute early. They were certainly going well where we saw them, about half- way between the two - a wonderful sight and sound.
