Princess Elizabeth & Tornado ! The Northern Belle & The Ticket To Ride

Описание к видео Princess Elizabeth & Tornado ! The Northern Belle & The Ticket To Ride

Two heavyweights of the mainline were out in action in the North West this weekend and one being LMS 6201 'Princess Elizabeth' which hasn't run in almost 12 months and is at the front of the prestigious Northern Belle dining train which is usually operated by top and tail diesel traction. Tornado makes it second appearance post lockdown and is now back in B.R Green livery and is seen at the sharp end on a rare excursion to Liverpool. Both trains unfortunately needed a diesel at the rear to provide power for the dining carriages and in the case of the Tornado trip the diesel is needed to pull the train out of Liverpool which is a dead end terminus with no run around facility. As the can been seen in the video the weather was fantastic, especially for the return leg with 6201 charging southbound towards Shap Summit, the last scene featuring Tornado was almost perfect but was slightly marred by onlookers trying to get across the crossing as Tornado was heading towards us, which meant the driver shut off steam, annoying but that's the risk you take on public crossings in built up areas.

Still, it was a very pleasant day up in the North West. I hope you enjoy.
