A very poorly lit photograph of 47090 'Vulcan' at Bristol Temple Meads under the huge Royal Mail conveyor bridge that thankfully has now been removed to reveal once again the full grandeur of the 1870 train shed. After considerable research, it appears that 47090, incidentally still with us today as Riviera Trains' 47843, was leading a returning ADEX to York running as 1Z40 unless somebody else can correct me? Bearing in mind this date was still some two weeks before the clocks changed to BST the setting sun must have been very low in the sky by this stage of the day hence the poor lighting. The slide was one resurrected from the 'rejects' box that needed a fair amount of work in Photshop.
