Listen Later

A steam engine popular with enthusiasts pulled-up at the platform in Petersfield on Saturday.

British Railways Standard Class 7 engine 70000 Britannia is a preserved steam locomotive.

It was pulling a train of carriages through our town on a tour operated by the luxury leisure company Steam Dreams.

The train stopped to pick-up passengers in Petersfield for a Christmas shopping day trip to Bath.

Shine Radio's Gareth Boyes, Noni Needs, Harrison RB and young volunteer Orien met the train, its fans and the people who operate it on Petersfield platform 2.

They also met well-known Petersfield character Robin Hart who has been on Britannia before.
