D-Day with 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley (That's D for Dull)

6th June 2009

Gresley A4 Pacific no 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley hauled Steam Dreams excursion from London to Chester & back today. (from Banbury on the outward journey). I arrived at Birmingham International just in time to see the arrival into platform 1 for watering the tender. I then caught a few more shots at Berkswell as the train headed south towards Coventry.
