Trainspotters gutted as mainline train blocks view of iconic locomotive

This is the moment trainspotters were left gutted after a mainline service blocked their view of an iconic steam locomotive.

Enthusiasts arrived at the railway station yesterday (Thurs) an hour early to catch a glimpse of the Black Five steam train - which was just passing through.

But sadly they stood on the wrong platform and a Great Western service stopped in front of them - seconds before the locomotive arrived.
