The railtour is the Triple Chopper Tripper (try saying that in a hurry!), which began at Bristol behind 47706, which hauled it to Stafford, where the 20s took over, until Upperby goods line, where they were detached, and the 08 took over. This then hauled it into Carlisle, to allow the 20s to be on the front end for the run south. The tour then returned to Stafford, this time via the Settle and Carlisle, to Stafford, where 47706 took over, for the run to Bristol.
The window bars on the vestibule windows were common on the third rail stock, but never seen it on Mk1s…was it something only specific to the tourist/charter stock sets?
@BRtechnicalservices Not at all. Didn't realise my comment had replied to yours 😄. I was referring to the steam locos in the sidings which were used on railtours over the Settle and Carlisle line.
Lovely stuff! I spot one of the three ex pullman Mk.3B BFO's (with the wider door) @7.30. Also, them BRT 20's in BR blue, the last non-retro loco's to be painted into all-over blue by B.R. i believe (20187 done at ZF 3.93)! Nice vid sir.

Great railway video
August 14th 1993 is the date,i viewed the 20 and 47 hauled railtours going through Lancaster that morning.
Some nice shots. I would like to go to Carlisle.
Good video, but going to save it for later as I’m watching HM the king King Charles III’s coronation.
Great idea!...... See you later then.......
