The return leg of the Bristol Forty excursion would see Black Five 45231 Sherwood Forester & 70000 Britannia tackle the famous Lickey Bank. Four angles capture the ascent of the steepest railway gradient in the UK. The spectacle was somewhat underwhelming due to the vigorous blowing off from Britannia which blotted out the audio of both locos. Thankfully the going away shots pick up the sound a lot better near the summit, though the Black Five is really the only audible loco.
It was still great to see steam up this famous stretch of line. I hope you enjoy the video.
