46100 ‘Royal Scot’ replaces 70000 ‘Britannia’ on “The Garden of England Lunchtime Tour”! | 20/06/24

46100 ‘Royal Scot’ is seen around Kent, replacing 70000 ‘Britannia’ on the first “Garden of England Lunchtime Tour” of 2024! 46100 is first (just about) seen through Rochester where the loco was seen coasting through. A few delayed trains meant that I wasn’t able to go forward with my original plan of seeing it accelerate out of the tunnel at Chatham. I then saw 46100 arriving at and departing Paddock Wood where the loco put on a good performance on its way back to London Victoria!

excellent shots 👍only the operator knows why not even steam dreams knows why Britannia was replaced by royal scot which seems a bit silly

@@barrythedieselelectricstea5217 yeah no idea. Britannia seems to keep failing although apparently it should be on the next run
