A great photo, captured in all its glory.
I don't think we have ever seen this loco on the South Coast, however her 'sister' loco A4 60019 Bittern (currently re-numbered & painted as Dominion of New Zealand) was used last week to haul the Dorset Coast Express from London to Weymouth.
Best regards

An imposing view and nicely composed to see the full length of the train.
