Description
D1015 Western Champion in the North West! Not often you see a Western diesel hydraulic up here and D1015 is the only mainline registered Western so great to see it at speed on the west coast mainline!

The Vintage Trains 'Western Mountaineer' tour went from Birmingham to Carlisle over Shap with return via the S&C. Sadly was busy this morning for the outward leg but did catch it this eve. Enjoy those shots plus the photos and bonus footage! Cheers ๐Ÿป
