The only time I got to ride behind a 57, on the Saturday Night Sleeper Day Coaches from Exeter St. Davids - the next time I tried I got to the station only to be bowled out at the last minute by crew shortages causing it to be cancelled :(

 

57602 waits for departure time, 08th July 2017...

57601 ‘WINDSOR CASTLE’ leading and 57316 on the rear.

The night of 12th November 2021 and 57604 was in charge of the GWR down sleeper. Due to 'overrunning engineering works' - a wagon with a tremendous wheel flat that wasn't allowed to be moved out of the possession without inspection which meant the possession wasn't handed back on time - I woke to find I was still in Plymouth and nearly 3 hours late!

 

Ready for the off:

0833 at Plymouth, should have been in Penzance.

On 3rd September, Pathfinder ran a part steam hauled tour from Bristol - Carlisle via Lune Gorge and back via the S&C with Tangmere hauling from Carnforth - Carlisle - Preston. Either side of this the tour was in the hands of 57s. 57313 did the Bristol - Carnforth leg before attaching to the back and giving assistance up the banks. Recently outshopped 57010 & 57012 brought the train back from Preston. Unfortunately the phone had died by this point so no pictures of the /0s.

 

'313 on the rear at Carlisle ahead of the return leg.
