Fans of classic steam trains are in for a treat this weekend. A famous locomotive is passing through the South West on its journey from London to Devon and it's stopping in Bristol.
The classic rail journey on Saturday (July 2) will follow part the route of the old Atlantic Coast Express (ACE) that ran from London to Devon and Cornwall in South West England. It will leave London Waterloo steam hauled in the morning and make its way to Exeter.
Organised by The Railway Touring Company, the return route will be via Bristol, Bath and Salisbury back to London Waterloo. Ex-Southern Region ‘Merchant Navy’ Class locomotive No. 35028 Clan Line will haul this special train, recreating some of the excitement of the days of the ACE.
