branding has almost disappeared with just the faintest outline of the vinyls on its flanks. It is seen passing near King's Sutton at the rear of The Heart of Wales charter running as 1Z39. The charter left Cardiff at 05.02 to end up at Shrewsbury for steam haulage back to the principality along the beautiful Welsh Marches line. Unfortunately, for the punters on board, the bright weather here in Northamptonshire gave way to torrential rain later in the day exactly as the Met. Office forecast!
