BR 'Britannia' Pacific No. 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' worked The Christmas Cheshireman from Bristol to Chester last. Now Class 47/4 No. 47580 'County of Essex' is given the job of piloting the steam loco and stock back to the WCR Depot at Southall. On 27th November 2017, a gloomy day with rain threatening, the ensemble speeds through Shrivenham, much blighted by the amazingly ugly trappings of electrification. The one strand of wire so far installed seems to have been best calculated to disrupt photography at this location, the steel fencing fortifications failing to block completely the inquisitive camera lens.
