A glorious spring day would be the setting for the The William Shakespeare Excursion from York to Stratford via Crewe where Black Five 45231 Sherwood Forester would join the train.
While the superb warmish weather was much welcomed it limited us to minimal filming locations as shots with the sun on the correct side are seriously lacking due to the line being heavily treed in. Just the three locations today, those being Wilmcote, Danzey Green and a rare shot along our local Sutton Park Line which ambles through North Birmingham. The best sequence for this video was Danzey Green, where rural North Warwickshire is shown at its best in full springtime glory.
I hope you enjoy the brief scenes.
