King Edward I is a GWR 6000 Class steam locomotive.
The locomotive was built in June 1930, and was originally housed at Plymouth Laira dept, before being transferred to Old Oak Common, London, in March 1959 and finally to Cardiff Canton depot in 1962.
Following its withdrawal from service in June 1962, the locomotive was sold off. It has since been preserved, and is now used for passenger charters such as the Torbay Express.
