Description
LNER Peppercorn Class A2 No. 60532 Blue Peter is a 4-6-2 ("Pacific") steam locomotive is seen heading heading north along the west coast main line and across the Leeds Liverpool canal at Bamfurlong junction south of Wigan on the rather gloomy morning of Thursday 12th February 2026.

The steam locomotive was working "The Cumbrian Mountaineer" railtour from Crewe to Carlisle running both directions via the wcml and Shap Summit. The train had originated at London Euston under "The Fearless Express" with Locomotive 50050 doing the London to Crewe sections..

Thought I'd try and angle I don't use much for videos but so enjoy especially as I've seen this locomotive lots of times in the last year.
