45407 ‘The Lancashire Fusilier’ erupts through Lime Street tunnels - The Great Britain XVI 20/4/24

The Great Britain XVI- day 8. LMS Black 5s 44871 and 45407 ‘the Lancashire Fusilier’ 1Z45 Liverpool Lime Street to Swansea via the Central Wales line.
Departing Liverpool Lime Street at 09:00, 45407 ‘the Lancashire Fusilier’ can be seen emerging from Lime Street tunnels working hard on the climb up to Edge Hill. 45407 would work the train as far as Chester before 44871 would attach to the front for a double head run over the Central Wales line to Swansea.
The second shot sees the pair waiting at Chester where we managed to overtake.
The final shots see 44871 & 45407 storming up towards Church Stretton on the Welsh Marches line. Thanks to ‪@crunchynutsteamfilms5043‬ for the help with the second camera.

I saw this train with both black 5s (entirely by accident) at Slateford in Edinburgh a couple of days ago

[@blackcountrysteamvideos8021]

They’re certainly getting around lately

[@James_Trains]

Great Video mate the Black 5s worked really well especially 45407 in at Edge hill. Edge hill is probably going to be on my list when I see earl at lime street in June

[@blackcountrysteamvideos8021]

You’ll enjoy it there James.

Brillaint spot for filming steam out of Lime Street.
On a side note it's a shame they keep giving preserved locos names they never held when in service, plus the fashion of replacing the later BR lion logo with the earlier one.

[@michaeltaylor1869]

Thumbs up to you Luke I’ve attended todays Severn valley railway for the spring steam gala and I’ve got the locos I’ve come to see check it out

[@blackcountrysteamvideos8021]

Cheers Scott. I’ve got one more day of filming at the gala before that video goes up.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

@@blackcountrysteamvideos8021yeah luke check it out the locos I’ve caught on that day

[@cathybrind2381]

Enjoyed the video but someone should get the local gardening contractor to take his chainsaw or scrub cutter down to the Lime Street tunnels. The amount of vegetation is excessive. Mind you, could be said about anywhere on the system these days.

[@geralddunn7278]

Pleased I kept quiet for the video 7

[@blackcountrysteamvideos8021]

Many thanks. Was good to meet you at farm lane
