First Class 70 at York...

[wensley]

Here it is, one of only a few shots showing the first class 70 to reach YORK!!

 

Here is the rest of the day's action:

 

First of all the GBIII with both 6201 "Princess Elizabeth" which worked 1Z42 inbound from Edinburgh prior to swapping with 60019 "Bittern" at York.

At around 1700 60019 "Bittern" with double tender collected the train for the journey to KGX.

MOST EXCITINGLY some more shots of the FIRST EVER class 70 to reach York. A stroke of luck when trying to catch 60019 being turned at York meant I was one of only a couple of photographers to see 70004 before it returned South.
