The Cathederal's Express was so named because it connected the Cathederal Cities of Worcester and Hereford with London (Paddington) on the G.W.R. (God's Wonderful Railway) or Western Region as many know it. This Steam Special was supposed to be hauled by the 'UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA' but for reasons unknown to me (probably maintenance) was replaced by a vintage diesel.
This is either a Class 33, 37, or 47 but I'm not a bona fide trainspotter so couldn't tell you which. I spent some time scouting this location and was reasonably happy with the result but think the sharpness could still be bettered.
Nice well-composed photo, John!
Nice one John...on the double download you can see the conductors...looks as though they are watching you watch them....
Great photograph John, it's good to see some UK loco shots again.

In the UK they are known as Drivers.
