A FORMER Great Western Railway express steam locomotive is set to pass through Newbury today (Sunday).

As part of an eight-day rail tour of Britain, the Great Britain IV has been pulled by various restored steam locomotives through Scotland, Wales and the west country.

And today, passengers on the final leg, which includes Newbury, are set to be pulled by the 5029 Nunney Castle.

The locomotive is expected to pass through the town some time after 1pm.
