BR Britannia Class 7MT 4-6-2 no 70000 Britannia was on a Cathedrals Express from Alresford to Ely  on Thursday 7th June 2012. The passengers had to get off the train at Ely railway station and then the locomotive and the empty coaching stock (ECS) had come to March. The stock was put into one of the loops in the south yard.

Like a lot of the 2012 summer it was very dull and very wet

The locomotive and surpport coach were uncoupled and headed off for the Whitemoor triangle, were the locomotive was turned.  It then returned to the South Yard were it was watered be for returning to Ely with the empty coaching stock (ECS).The rails in the south yard at March were very wet and it gave for a good show, as the driver tried to slowly get out the yard without too much slipping

When it came to March last year it was painted in BR blackon the ECS of a Cathedrals Express on the 14th of July 2011 that day it had no name plates. (video on that page)

It has now been repainted in BR green and had its name plates put back.

Britannia also came to March on the 11th September 2012 when the weather was a lot better than in June (video on that page)
