Description
For the first time in over 55 years, BR built GWR Castle Class 7029 'Clun Castle' crosses the rails of the infamous Settle and Carlisle Railway. Hauling Vintage Trains' "The Cumbrian Mountain Express", this was 7029's first visit to the Yorkshire Dales since 1967, this being the latest event in 2023's celebrations for the centenary of the GWR Castle Class.

Starting at Helifield, we see the loco sat as she is prepared for the day's journey, with the stock having arrived behind British Rail Class 47 47773 from Birmingham. We then catch the tour as it climbs the 1-in-100 gradient at Selside towards Ais Gill. After her stop at Appleby, we see the tour powering north at Lazonby, before finally seeing the tour climbing the incline towards Shap at Great Strickland.
