Britannia 7000 loco steams through Brixton, south London

Arriving a little earlier in Brixton than expected (so I missed its approach) was this chartered steam-hauled train, hauled by BR standard class 7 70000 Britannia.

The loco had been repainted since I last saw it thunder through Brixton in April, when it sported a moody black look.

The train curves towards Victoria, passing over Brixton railway station, with the distinctive six sided clock tower of Bradys to the right.
