RARE indeed! Tangmere goes TENDER FIRST on Cumbrian Coast Express + THRASH! SR 34067 Arnside 27/6/26
A rarety these days on mainline steam specials, a Tender First outward leg of the CCE. This is due to the closure of the line at Bransty Tunnel not allowing for the usual Cumbrian Coast route. Also some thrash from 47812 due to the fire risk from the steam loco. Plus a look around Arnside Station and the viaduct. Enjoy 🍻
