Disappointing? Not everything goes to plan. OK, I don't like watching diesels, but if there's a steamy like Sir Nigel Gresley on the other end, I don't complain. I stay put and watch, because what's not to love about the iconic LNER A4 steamy?
From what I was told, the tour was running out of time due to the point failure and to turn the stock on the triangle would delay other services getting in and out of Plymouth. Personally I like a Duff 😎. Running tender first while pulling an train isn’t allowed on the mainline, unless during a shunt move. My guess the tour company was told No due to safety which is understandable. The A4 did look smart.
