Ex-GWR Hall Class 4-6-0 No 6929 'Whorlton Hall' is seen on a Bournemouth to Newcastle relief express service.
The locomotive is most likely to come off the train at Leicester as most GWR locomotives rarely travelled further north.
The leading carriage is a former LNER 3rd Class Brake van designed by Sir Nigel Gresley.
Built by Swindon works to Lot 340 in November 1941, No 6929 remained in service until October 1963 when it was withdrawn from 2D Banbury shed.

The fireman of 6931 “ALBEBOROUGH HALL” stands on points rodding, peering towards Ponsandane Box as his local parcels service is halted on the down main. The loco has a Truro shed plate on its front end, and is hauling a real mixture of stock, including a broccoli wagon.
