The first photo of the trip is 60009 blasting into gear passing Leagrave. |
|
We stop at Kettering for water.... |
|
As we wait for the beast to finish drinking, we see a HST rush northbound, something the steam bashers didn't want. |
|
Just to show the coaching stock used on the tour, a mix of Mk IIs and Mk Is |
|
66210 speeds through Kettering |
|
60009 bursts into life whilst a HST set sits at Kettering |
 |
"What's that coming over the hill, is it a monster?" We head to Melton mowbray on the Corby line. |
|
The monster being 60056.... |
|
As we head to Melton mowbray the steam blocks the sun to create a nice effect captured here |
|
The early morning sun shines into the steam as we cross through the midlands |
|
Near Doncaster and the sun shines down onto the charter |
|
60009 rests at York after making alot of time up between York and Loughborough |
|
A new TPE class 185 departs Leeds for Manchester airport |
|
50049 "Defiance" and 50031 "Hood" come in to Leeds |
|
We crossed on to the slow lines just before Chesterfield, so I decided to take a shot |
|
We depart Kettering but 60009 was wheel slipping so my cam went up and up |
|
Now we depart Bedford but with a smoother departure |
