5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe demolishes the 1/37 Lickey Incline! | The Shakespeare Express | 30/6/24

Today's video is again of my favourite locomotive, GWR Castle Class 4-6-0 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, which certainly didn't disappoint! She was hauling Vintage Trains' the Shakespeare Express from Worcester Shrub Hill to Stratford Upon Avon! Vintage Trains' 2024 Shakespeare Express has seen operations expanded to Derby, Worcester and Leicester! This is the second of which; originating in Worcester, the tour went via Bromsgrove and the Lickey Incline to Birmingham and then onwards to Stratford via Solihull and Dorridge. The tour then did its afternoon circular to Birmingham and back, both out (smokebox first) and return (tender first) via Dorridge. The tour then went via the North Warwicks Line through Henley in Arden back to Birmingham and back to Worcester via Stourbridge. With overcast weather forecasted, we didn't expect much with the lighting at all locations. The tour is seen at Vigo on the Lickey Incline and Widney Manor on the first return, the second return sadly had to be abandoned because I was hosting a party to watch England play Slovakia in the Euro 2024 quarter finals, a game which we subsequently won (albeit with great difficulty lol)! Because the Sunday timetable on the UK rail network is so shocking, this one required some out of the box thinking in order to get to my locations! I started out from Solihull on the 76 bus, travelling to Selly Oak on the Cross City line to catch the 9:13, the earliest train of the day toward Bromsgrove. From Barnt Green I walked down to the Lickey, good to meet ‪@LiamsLocos‬, ‪@blackcountrysteamvideos8021‬ ,‪@GreatBritishRailways1‬, ‪@AndysSteamAdventures‬ and ‪@FullSteamAhead‬ at Vigo! 5043 didn't do her planned Bromsgrove stop and instead rocketed up the incline with the 47 giving a hefty shove - I'd still say the majority of the effort was off 5043 though. After that it was a walk back to Barnt Green, taking the 11:48 one stop to Longbridge and then catching the 49 bus back to Solihull. This allowed me to get to Widney Manor, where I met ‪@harnettyrailways‬ for 5043 to absolutely rip through the station giving it the full beans! After that I did have to call it a day and host the party back home. Thanks to all who made this possible as always, the video would completely unfeasible without everyone that I mention! This includes NR for their reduction of the fire risk caution level, WMR for the trains, NX West Mids for the 76 and 49 busses and of course VT and the mighty 5043 as well as her fantastic crew. Thanks also to my company. I hope you enjoy as I did!
