The Great Western Christmas Envoy Oldfield Park, Bath or Keymsham at night
With the UK gripped by a national rail strike affecting nearly all train operating companies The Great Western Christmas Envoy was the only train stopping at Bath Spa all day. Steam locomotive 70000 Britannia can be seen here pulling away from Bath Spa heading through Oldfield Park having just crossed back onto the correct line after taking advantage and running bang line through Bath Spa to drop passengers off. We were very lucky a freight train stopped before the station to let us all have a view as the red light meant he should have stopped through the station blocking our view.
