60532 Blue Peter at Springs Branch - The Lakelander Railtour - 26th April 2025
The steam locomotive was working "The Lakelander" Railtour from Rugby to Carlisle. Intercity swallow liveried 47593 had lead the train to Crewe before the kettle was attached. LNWR Black 57002 was at the rear making quite a colour sighting.
The train was on the slow lines to allow 1S42 London to Glasgow pass. We get a nice steady shot. I have filmed this loco at speed on other tours too.
