"The Eden Belle" railtour heads westwards at 09.51, headed by Cotswolds Rail Class 47s nos. 47316 "Cam Peak" and 47200 "Fosse Way" and promoted by Pathfinder. This is the 1Z77 05.26 Chester to Penzance and the train will drop off many passengers at Par for onward coach transfer to The Eden Project.
This duo of Class 47s are no longer with us, both being scrapped in April and May 2008 respectively. This was their brief moment of glory working for rather inglorious railway company. But I was fortunate to experience travel behind them on another Pathfinder railtour.
