2 steam specials in one day at Hellifield, 26th June 2021!

I went to Hellifield to see two steam specials in one day on 26th June 2021!
6201 Princess Elizabeth was hauling The Northern Belle and 35018 British India Line was hauling The Cumbrian Mountain Express!
In the first clip I nearly missed Princess Elizabeth arriving into Hellifield to take on water during her outward journey from Preston to Carlisle via Blackburn because she was nearly 15 minutes early and I was on the other platform expecting an HST Midland Pullman to pass through which was held up because of a late running Northern train ahead of it, the HST Midland Pullman was scheduled to pass through at 11:52 and Princess Elizabeth was scheduled to arrive at 12:15!
In the second clip Princess Elizabeth departs Hellifield after taking on water to continue her outward journey from Preston to Carlisle via the Settle and Carlisle railway!
In the third clip British India Line arrives at Hellifield to take on water during her return journey from Carlisle to Preston via the Settle and Carlisle railway, in the hour leading up to her arrival it became very windy and even my camera was set to wind reduction on but the wind was still too much which I was unable to control!
In the fourth clip British India Line departs Hellifield after taking on water to continue her return journey from Carlisle to Preston via Blackburn!
I dedicate this video in memory of my Grandad!
Thank you to both Ian and Kate Fulton for a lovely day out!
