The Cathedrals express passes Scrubs lane on an overcast day in May 1963 with No 7027 ‘Thornbury Castle’ in charge. This train carried a headboard only on Fridays and Saturdays at this time. No 7027 was withdrawn in December 1963 and sold to Woodhams from where it was purchased in August 1972 for restoration (which has still yet to happen).
