This picture is GWR King Class 4-6-0 no 6024 King Edward I trundling up through the North Western edge of the Chiltern Hills at about a quarter past nine this morning.
The train was due to have a busy day traveling out from Paddington to Worcester and then back to Paddington later, via Reading.
Quite a few people turned out to see the train which is what I would call a 'Proper' steam train.
Interestingly, while cropping the picture just now, I saw another steam train trundling up the valley with just a couple of carriages behind it. Not sure what it was or where it is going to, as I cannot find the movement detailed on any of the usual websites that show such things.
This morning's train was a few minutes late, so held up a Wrexham & Shropshire service along with a couple of Chiltern Railways' trains.
Edit: Thanks to the tip from Anonymous, I've tracked down this video of the Scots Guardsman traveling through Lancaster, on its way to Carnforth.

A last-minute move for Scots Guardsman i believe.
Thanks for that - earlier today someone showed me a rather nice picture of it passing through Princes Risborough.
