Blue Peter's East Coast Return - LNER Peppercorn A2 60532 'Blue Peter' - 13/07/24
We initially catch the Pacific at Newark Northgate station, passing through 25 minutes early, having omitted a timetabled stop in Claypole Loop. Further north, we catch 60532 on the approach into Doncaster station, accelerating along the Down Fast line, running alongside the locomotive's modern counterpart, in the form of an LNER Azuma.
Not only blue in name, 60532 carries BR Express Blue livery. Whilst this livery was never carried by the Peppercorn A2s in service, it is a livery seldom seen in preservation. This comes following a £5 million overhaul of the locomotive at Crewe over the past 7 years, having moved from her previous home at Barrow Hill Roundhouse.

A preserved LNER Peppercorn A2 60532 'Blue Peter' makes its return to the East Coast Mainline, running between London Kings Cross and York. The locomotive, which had not operated on this route since 2001, was recently overhauled at Crewe and is now in BR Express Blue livery. It was seen at Newark Northgate, Doncaster, and York, with footage capturing its journey alongside a modern LNER Azuma. A rededication ceremony took place at Kings Cross, marking the locomotive's official launch.
