Specials at Tamworth Episode One

The first of a series capturing unusual workings, special trains, and special events at Tamworth Station, which are a bit random, as they appear as required!
In this episode we see the Kingsbury Tanks hailed by a pair of class 56, then a XC/Modern Railways HST last charter Leeds to Swanage on a very wet morning, and the following day the set is seen returning to Laira for probably the last time at Tamworth as a CrossCountry train.

Nice capture, I caught the HST at Micheldever and also at Overton

Thanks very much for kind words. I got totally soaked, but well worth it and a special moment. Nice it ventured to southern metals again after such a long time,

May I suggest following my friend @oldskool7313 who's just come back from Devon and got some great footage of the coastal trains down there?

[@mrowl-the-dsm1304]

He is a great guy and a very good friend, I have known him since he was a lad. I like his footage. Thanks very much for recomending him
