The last Britiannia class steam train Oliver Cromwell steams through Stowmarket 22nd February 2018

The Oliver Cromwell bids farewell to tbe tracks but not in the way intended.  The last Britannia class loco departed London Liverpool Street at 10:20am and was due to arrive at Norwich at 13:25.

Running a few minutes late the Oliver Cromwell puffed her way through Stowmarket. A few miles up the track this wonderful locomotive ground to a holt. Luckily on the aft of the train a diesel loco was able to be the hero of hour but the Oliver Cromwell broke down again.  The diesel loco picked up the strain and pushed the train into Norwich traveling at just 20mph.
