60009 Union of South Africa & 70000 Britannia at YORK, 7th March 2020

Two tours , 2 great pacific steam locos!
The first tour to arrive was The White Rose from Shrewsbury hauled by 70000 Britannia, followed shortly after by The Yorkshireman from Ealing Broadway, worked by 60009 Union of South Africa, on what could be her last mainline run.
After the tours arrive , both locos head off to the NRM, where they are seen together, for what may be the last time.
An emotional departure from the station by number 9, as she says Good Bye to hundreds of fans on the platform.
Included are a couple of clips of the other two A4s in the NRM, Mallard and Sir Nigel Gresley, which is nearing the end of a long overhaul.
Finally 70000 leaves back for Shrewsbury, where as The Yorkshireman is diesel hauled back to Ealing Broadway.
