A Day in the Life of a Bulleid Pacific
Railways • 1h 0m
In this programme, we feature heavy metal in action as the unrebuilt Pacific 34567 "Tangmere" heads a heavily-loaded mainline rail tour on the Torbay Express service to Kingswear. Everything is against her; there's rain in the air, she's running late and the engine is not steaming particularly well.
