They got 44871 back just in time, as it's the only air brake fitted loco they have apart from Tangmere that's not in Scotland!

Steam is planned to make a return! A Class 60 is planned to be re-built to run on hydrogen-fuelled steam!

Awesome video! Lovely shots all round even if there was some confusion, loved that shot at the end, the lighting, sound, loco, whistle, it’s all there! Keep it up!
Ps. Who ran this tour aka do you know who’s stock that is?

[@terrier_productions]

Thank You very much.. The tour was operated by West Coast Railways. I am unsure who’s stock was used as WCR only have 1 Mk2 set which are maroon and not BR Blue & Grey

[@AaronThompson]

The Blue MK2s are Riviera trains
