In 2023 the late May Bank Holiday Weekend coincided with Whitsuntide. On Sunday 28th May I went out to see “The Shakespeare Express” running between Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham Snow Hill when it was hauled by 5043 EARL OF MOUNT EDGCUME chimney first. The train ran very close to time on both trips and, as usual, the Tyseley based Castle looked immaculate. I also took the opportunity to capture a few shots when it arrived at Stratford, ran round the train and was prepared for the return journey. It was an enjoyable and relaxing day out.
