The Festive Yorkshireman 1st December

Here you will find my photos of my trip to Leeds on The Festive Yorkshireman with 37410 and 417.

37410 leads 417 at Swindon. 37410 has its boxes painted black for the tour.
After the very early start (05:30) the sun came up which enabled me to get a shot of the pair rounding a corner.
47829 in its Police livery stands at Crewe.
Two 57s stabled at Crewe as we depart for Leeds.

Here they are again making a spectacular departure.
47813 leads a tour into Keighley, I didn't expect this as surprised when the 47 came round the corner.
Due to 417 failing earlier, NR decided 410 wouldn't be able to take us up the bank out of Manchester Victoria, we were delayed for over an hour which gave us some time to stretch our legs. But NR decided that the best choice was to let 410 try. 410 made it whilst making fireworks! (Video on my youtube account)
