THE evocative smell of steam and oil once more filled Shepreth station after a flying visit from the Cathedrals Express.
Sunday saw the loco pull into the station on its way from Cambridge to Norwich.
Andrew Fowler, who organised the event, said: “It was amazing, absolutely fantastic.
“One of the best events I have ever organised, I would say there were hundreds of people there.
He added: “I had lots of people come up to me afterwards and say are you doing it again - it’s going to happen again next year.”
