Noted westbound on the M56 just before the M53 junction at 1220 today was a steam locomotive,possibly named "Britannia",aboard a low-loader. Sorry for the lack of confirmed detail but I was driving alone and overtook the transport and its escort fairly quickly.

Thanks for that Thetexpat. I'm not really into railway engines but I just downloaded a page of info about it from Wikipedia.
Cheers,Keith

thanks for the update!
As much as I enjoy 'steam', news regarding British 'steam' is a bit scarce out here on the Texas plains!
Cheers,
