Leyland National to Essex pubs

2/11/13

A train to Chelmsford, and Leyland National VAR899S (Eastern National 1833) to take me around a few country pubs.

Five Bells - Colne Engaine was planned to be visited but bridge repairs meant we couldn't get a bus to the pub.

Then to Finchingfield

The Fox Inn



Oops, forgot to take interior photos

The Three Tuns







The Red Lion (didn't go in here)


Some more photos taken in Finchingfield village

and finally back at Chelmsford station


Thanks to Steve Simister for the invite and driving his National for us.

  1. Pleasure, first full day out 1833 has really had & I thought she performed very well given the circumstances.
