The Cathedrals Express

As we were walking into town for coffee this afternoon I noticed a small group of people staring over the railway bridge. Thinking there maybe a blip opportunity if someone had thrown themselves off I whipped out my trusty Sony compact and crossed the road to have a look.
 
It was this engine puffing at the end of the line reversing down the track.  I took a couple of pics then crossed the road to watch the engine go through the station. A row of old vintage railway carriages was standing  at the platform  so I guessed this is where the engine was heading. 
 
This is a picture of the engine as it passed through Stratford station with the carriages on the right.
