50049 + 50044 + 50007 at Bamfurlong - 05th September 2021
We see a triple header of class 50s with two in GBRF livery and one in a smart British rail blue. The tour was running around 25 late here due to the previous leg leaving Carlisle late and with a loco change schedualed it always takes time. Fortunately the weather was glorious today so I didnt mind a 2 hour wait between the three 50s heading north as light engine and coming back south. The trio was heading for Bescot near Wallsall were yet another locomotive change would occur.
Details about todays leg of the tour,
Our final day sets off from Carlisle with a Class 66 taking us south along the West Coast Main Line to Preston. We will then hand over to our trusted friends from the Class 50 Alliance who are intending to supply 3 Class 50s to work in multiple taking us forward along the West Coast Main Line to Bescot. From here, another Class 66 will take us via Aston to Birmingham New Street where you can choose to take an optional break from the train and the train will return back to Bescot Loop for a second time. From here, a Class 69 will make it's UK main line passenger debut, hauling us initially to Birmingham New Street, then forward via Worcester and Evesham to Reading and our traditional ending point of London Paddington.
