Quite by chance, on the same day that we started (Sunday May 7th 2017), the 'Great Britain X' steam excursion trip was on day 8 of its 9 day journey, and we saw it depart at 08.45 in the morning, but not before Vicki got on the footplate! The engines are LMS Royal Scot Class 7P 4-6-0 no 46100 Royal Scot, and BR Rebuilt Light Pacific 4-6-2 no 34046 Braunton.
