Description
Wednesday 18th February and after seeing D400 at Crewe at the rear of a train heading for Carnforth, I followed to Lancaster to see Fearless at the head of the returning stock passing on the through lines at speed.
Lancaster is a lovely station and well laid out, well worth a visit.
As well as the Fifty I saw two intermodals at speed plus intercity, regional and local trains.
Sadly a dove met its end accidentally in the making of this video.


This is the third of three videos taken on this trip. Thanks to Paul at West Coast Mainline trains / Planes.
