57311 FAILS on the 'WHITE ROSE' plus LOCO CHANGES with 34046 'BRAUNTON' 17/04/24

See the Saphos Trains 'The White Rose' working from Hereford to York with loco changes at Crewe.
57311 and 47805 were in charge of the ECS working to Hereford and inbound back to Crewe - The departure was delayed from Hereford with 47805 required to head the service and support 57311.
In a change to the original plan - Both 57311 and 47805 were removed at Crewe with 47828 added alongside 34046 'Braunton'. I'm not aware what the problem was with 57311 however it was able to run through the station with 47805 under it's own power.
Plenty of steam about from Braunton - Hope you enjoy the video!

Great video lovely to see Braunton. They had a problem with the 57 on saturday for the last tour from crewe. They will sort it.

Very nice. I was amazed a "Saphos steam" tour actually had steam on it, it seems quite a few list as steam but end up with a 57 and 47 pulling them.

I absolutely love your videos. But I do miss the ace guitar intro, that was your trademark theme! I often find myself humming it at work 😂.
Some very sexy diesel locos, fabulous stuff 😊.

Thanks! That may well make a return in the future.. The down side about music tracks is you can never please everyone as some didn’t like it 🤷‍♂️🙈

Very nice indeed 👍👍👍👍👍

[@backwheelbob46rr]

Im sure the main line drivers love coming into a platform with that pulling away in the opposite direction,

[@nathan83699]

Not sure what was wrong the 57, just seems to be on low power

[@russb2286]

Could be a tpws problem with the bodysnatcher

[@trainsplanes]

Not sure - Someone who knows the reason why will likely confirm..

[@aarphotos5]

Low water pressure upon taking power over notch 1

[@leonblittle226]

57s always seem to be an endless problem.
