67024, outward leg of the Belmond British Pullman, 11.03 London Victoria-Gillingham (1Y40, 1E), London Victoria station
Due to access restrictions at Victoria, this is as close
as I could get to the leading locomotive of the 11.03 Belmond Pullman charter to Gillingham. 67024 would lead the 1Y40 with passengers enjoying a sumptuous trip aboard the vintage stock one carriage of which is seen here. Number 254, named 'Zena' was built for the GWR by Metropolitan Cammell Carriage and Wagon Company in 1928. Luxurious as they are I am not too sure how well they ride at speed on their ageing bogies so the average speeds of these Belmond charters are always kept deliberately slow so as to not spill after-dinner port!
