LPPC DSL BW 1298 Slowing for the single-line junction before heading through Colwall Tunnel under the Malvern Hills, is a Hymek Type 3 Class 35 on the Hereford portion of an express from London, which would have been detached from the main train at Worcester Shrub Hill. It is believed that on this stretch of line, from the top of the Malvern Hills, the sight and sound of what was possibly a Saint, or a City, on much the same train as depicted, was enough to inspire Edward Elgar to write the ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ marches.
