LMS Black Five 44871 - The Buxton Spa Express - 16/05/26
Following this, we view the tour rounding the corner at Blackwell Mill, where the Monsal Trail begins, running along the bed of the former line running south towards Bakewell. After a stopover in the spa town of Buxton, we catch a final view of the train following departure over an hour late, working up the steep gradient out of the station and along the LNWR route towards Manchester.
44871's visit to the Peak District comes on the heals of classmate 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' which performed her own run of "The Buxton Spa Express" back in March.
