Photo Review
From John Debens' ticket collection - a tour ticket and
corresponding works permit ticket.

Originally uploaded as '70016 at Crewe' a closer inspection reveals it
appears
not to be the same Britannia (note missing shed plate and position of the
smokebox handles) thus confirmation is required as to the loco identity and
in fact if this was the same trip/date? (photo: The Mike Morant Collection)
