Bristol_steam_Britannia: Britain is unique in that virtually every week in the year sees one or more high-speed, long-distance, steam-hauled trains running on its main lines. This is especially so in summer where at Bristol in particular, summer Sundays often sees one, sometimes two, trains depart within minutes of each other.
