Nice capture as usual Bill but I wonder why they couldn't have had it running tender first at the front😼😼😼? 😺

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Robert & Sion have answered in the comments, but to be fair, I wondered that myself! Thought it was the wrong train as it came into view 🤣👍

Poor ol Sir Nigel dragged backwards through Devon and Somerset, there was a points failure at the Laira triangle where steam engines are turned around.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Yup - Cheers for the explanation 👍

Nice one Bill , I was going down for the return and my brother rang me …. Two hours later 😂 probably just as well with the points failure, I bet the punters on board weren’t happy

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

True - The people at the station waiting to photograph it weren't very happy either! 👍👍👍

[@andybyrne50]

@@BillsPhoneTeignmouth I don’t expect they would be. You’ll be happy when the Blue Peter runs the wall , it’s made its first official appearance on the King’s Cross to York tour today . The only A2 peppercorn in existence , what a sight that will make !
