This morning's steam charter train from Shrewsbury to London Paddington adds it's own heat to the already hot weather as it passes the former Aldridge station site behind GWR-built loco 6024 King Edward I. The train operators are no longer able to run their charters over the original "Cambrian Coast Express" ex-GWR route from Wolverhampton Low Level to Birmingham Snow Hill as this section of the line closed in 1972, only to be re-opened as the Metro tram-route in 1999. I somehow don't think the tram-lines could bear the weight of this massive beast bearing down upon them !
