47580 'County of Essex' gets the 1Z24 Cathedrals Express away
from King's Cross at exactly the right time heading for Shildon on County Durham. The charter was also named The Great Goodbye taking passengers to see, for the last time, all six surviving A4 streamlined Pacifics together in one place celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of Mallard's speed record in 1938. To the right and totally dwarfed by the trainshed towering above it is 180109 that will work the 10.42 to Hull.
