Train spotters will have a chance to catch a glimpse of one of the most historic steam locomotives in Slough this summer.
The 1935-built 45596 Bahamas locomotive is set to stop in Slough on four dates across the summer, following the easing of Covid restrictions.
The train will come through Slough on Saturday, July 24 after it departs from London Paddington route for the Bristol channel resort of Minehead.
