Thank you for posting that brilliant picture here on the Coffee Shop forum, Clan Line.

The return was even more impressive, although running nearly hour late, saw it pass through Bradford on Avon
61306 Mayflower and 71000 Duke of Gloucester. Double heading.
Plenty of whistles too (presumably to advice second loco driver when to brake and accelerate etc)
My understanding is Duke had a problem on Wednesday, was rectified at Bristol and they opted to double headed the train to Three Bridges to return the loco.
