View westward, towards Wolverton. Ex-LNW Webb 'Coal Tank' 2F 0-6-2T No. 58887 (designed 1882, withdrawn 4/55) has run round its train from Wolverton. This is part of the RCTS 'Buckinghamshire Rail Tour' - and the fireman is changing the headlamps for the return run. This engine also took us from Cheddington to Aylesbury High Street and back (see Image]) on the complex tour that had started at Blackfriars. The Newport Pagnell branch from Wolverton was closed to passengers on 7/9/64, to goods on 22/5/67.
