Description
With her first visit to York since her most recent overhaul, BR Standard Class 7 70000 'Britannia' runs a private charter railtour dubbed "The Brexit Express", organised by Locomotive Services owner, Jeremy Hosking.

The tour was hauled with top and tail 47s from Swansea to Crewe, before handing over to 70000 for the following leg of the run up to York, where once again, traction was handed back over to Class 47 D1924 "Crewe Diesel Depot"for a round trip to Sunderland.

This tour took place a day following the original planned date for the UK to leave the EU. However, this date for Brexit has since been extended to April 12th (Correct at the time of writing)...
