Description
In todays video we have LMS Royal Scot Class 46115 "Scots Guardsman" steaming north through Bryn station just to the south of Wigan on Saturday 17th July 2021. The stunning steam locomotive was working the first leg of the "The Cumbrian Mountain Express" railtour from Crewe to Carlisle via Liverpool Lime Street. With the steamer doing the honours out of Lime Street with "WCR" West Coast Railways class 47802 on the rear to work the runs between Crewe and Liverpool.


The weather was preety much perfect with the morning sunshine blasting through making the 0500 wakeup call very worth while. The train passed through at 0718, a minuite down. Things werent as panicked as it could of been with a late Trans Pennine service passing by minuites later. Steam tours along this line are very rare with just one maybe 2 a year booked which is far better than it used to be.


Linked here is another shot of a steam train working another "Cumbrian Mountain Express" in 2019 with "6201 Princess Elizabert" doing the honours that day.
