Oliver Cromwell locomotive breaks down on final East Anglia trip

The Oliver Cromwell steam locomotive's final trip through East Anglia was delayed by mechanical failure.

Crowds watched it travel through Essex, Suffolk and into Norwich station, where it arrived 45 minutes late.

The locomotive was built in 1951 and was used until 1968, before operating to carry passengers at a steam museum until the 1980s.
