47804, outward leg of The York Yuletide Express, 07.11 Ealing Broadway-York (1Z10), Holme Green Crossing TL192426 This photograph was supposed to have been somewhat different! Rather than a drab West Coast Railways 47804 leading this charter past Holme Green crossing south of Biggleswade, it was supposed to have been A4 Pacific 60009 'Union of South Africa' but this had been declared a failure prior to departure from Ealing Broadway as the 07.11 to York. The passengers aboard The York Yuletide Express would no doubt have been disappointed at the lack of steam haulage on the outward leg of the journey but, hopefully, 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' hauling the return working would have made up for the disappointment.
