27th November 2015 November 26th, 2015 saw the Steam Dreams charter from London Victoria run into problems at Reading with dragging brakes on Mk2 Coach No.3048. The charter finally arrived in the Taunton area some two hours late, having removed several coaches at Reading. As a result of the delay, the charter was revised to return with accompanying West Coast Class 47 No. 47746 'Chris Fudge 29.7.70 - 22.6.10' to London, while the B1 would then make an overnight stay on the West Somerset Railway before returning to Southall the next day. No. 61306 'Mayflower' is pictured slowly approaching the signal at 40 Steps on the 27th November with the 5Z31 11:20 Bishops Lydeard - Southall (Photo: Jeff Treece)
