Hello Everyone and welcome to this video featuring 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe operating the Shakespeare Express. The video begins at Stratford Upon Avon Station with the arrival of the Shakespeare Express on its first journey of the day from Birmingham Snow Hill. The service operates on selected summer Sundays along with other key dates in the calendar such as at Easter and on Fathers Day. I later travelled the length of the Shakespeare Line to film the return of the train into Birmingham Snow Hill station. The service made a return journeys during the afternoon and I later moved onto Birmingham Moor Street Station to film the train returning from its second journey along the line. The service is operated by Vintage Trains and further information can be obtained from their website vintagetrains.co.uk
