60009 Union of South Africa in Worcester 22 Feb. 2020.

Post by TimBrown » 17:21 Saturday 22nd February 2020

Gresley Class A4 No. 60009 'Union of South Africa' is seen working a charter from London Paddington into Worcester Shrub Hill today Saturday 22 February 2020 and then through Worcester Foregate street completing the turning manoeuvre around the 'triangle' so that it is facing correct way for return journey to London via Kemble. I know it was said in the past, but this is probably the last time it will work a charter to Worcester as the mainline boiler certificate finishes in about six months time. The owner will then move it onto his Ayrshire farm as a static museum exhibit.
