Was just pulling into Shrewsbury coming down from the north at about 3.15 yesterday afternoon, and there in all its glory was a beautiful steam engine, which in the short time I had available was, I think, called King Edward 1. It was all steamed up and looked ready to go. I wonder if it did actually go anywhere. It had a lot of coaches tagged on but I must say they didn't look very special, not exactly Orient Express.

Or maybe it lives there and I've never noticed it before?

It was Steam Dreams' Cathedrals Express trip, Bristol <-> Shrewsbury (diesel from Paddington).

That tour was originally supposed to be 60019 Bittern. The change in loco was the reason I didn't go.
