GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Danzey for Tanworth Station: gwrdt452

GWR 4-6-0 Saint class No 2903 'Lady of Lyons' is seen at the head of an up express service comprised primarily of clerestory coaching stock circa 1930s. Built at Swindon in May 1906 No 2903 was the second member of this pioneering class of locomotives to be built. The locomotive remained in service for more than forty years and saw out its final years working on the North Warwickshire line until it was finally withdrawn from Tyseley in November 1949 to be scrapped by Swindon shortly afterwards.
