Penzance, 7 April, 2007: ex-Great Western Railway 4-6-0s, King Class No. 
6024 King Edward I and Castle Class No. 5051 Earl Bathurst are made 
ready to haul The Great Britain special train to Bristol. The 
locomotives turned in a stunning performance, arriving in Bristol no 
less than 19 minutes early! However, the support crew for No. 5051 were 
in subdued mood as this was the locomotive’s last run before its boiler 
certificate expired and it was not known if/when No. 5051 will run 
again. Roger Griffiths; roger.griffiths@hotmail.com
