Seems to be something WCR and LSL do. Possibly to give the passengers an nostalgic feel of being pulled by a steam loco. Something the heritage railways tend not to do.

The coincidence that it was the Royal Scot Pendolino too being there
Now when’s a steam loco coming down the midland main line to St Pancras
Excellent video 👍

2 out of 3 ain't bad
why is there so much cylinder steam, you can't see anything from it, and you don't need it!

It's probably less expensive than blowing the end of the cylinder off
