Description
Todays filming took me to Swinton in South Yorkshire for two steam rail tours due to pass through within a few minutes of each other. Despite the Northern Railways rail strike and limited train services from Newcastle upon Tyne due to severe winter weather I managed to reach Swinton by the South Yorkshire bus network from Doncaster.

The 1st rail tour to pass was 'The Yorkshireman' (1Z57) from Ealing Broadway to York which was hauled by BR Britannia Pacific No. 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' on its last main line excursion before its boiler certificate expires.

The 2nd rail tour passed just over 8 minutes later and this was 'The Pennine Limited' hauled by LMS Jubilee class 4-6-0 No. 45699 'Galatea' on a run from Carnforth to Sheffield and back, shown here on the return leg (1Z46).

Please feel free to comment. Allan.
