10th March 2012 Saturday 10th March 2012 saw A1 Pacific No. 60163 'Tornado' breeze through Taunton with the ‘Cathedrals Express’ charter from London Paddington to Plymouth. After Winter maintenance, the loco was originally planned to work double-headed into Devon with 71000 'Duke of Gloucester' but owing to a recent shunting incident, the loco had to be withdrawn from traffic. Instead, No. 60163 'Tornado' handled the charter solo to Exeter, where DB Schenker provided a Class 66 locomotive to assist the charter over the Devon Banks. Tornado is seen passing Westford Crossing near Wellington operating 1Z29 08:06 London Paddington – Plymouth. (Photo: John White)
