Today's video sees me travel to York to see Locomotive Services White Rose Trip from St Albans to York hauled by LNER A4 Pacific number 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley. Also on the Same day we have Black % pacific Number 44871 heading from London Kings Cross to York.
The day started off by me travelling to Finsbury Park to catch 44871 on the outward working from Kings Cross. Due to a signal Check the Black 5 is seen rolling up towards the station then opening up as the signal changed to green. Next back on the Tube to Kings Cross to catch the train upto Newark Northgate. Once arrived I quickly set up eagerly waiting the arrival of 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley. Once passed at flying speed 44871 was due to pass ahead of the next train to Doncaster. 44871 was 30 minutes late so I decided still to Catch that train to Doncaster to see the A4 again.
After passing 60007 at Babworth loop I arrived at Doncaster expecting 60007. Again the A4 put on a show for the whole crowd at Doncaster for the Steam, After waiting another 50 minutes for 44871 I decided to head to York and just spend some time before heading back to Doncaster. After arriving at York noticing 44871 was still in the platform I quickly headed to get a shot of the loco before heading for some spare time. Here 44871 is seen slipping away from York.
After some time in York I headed back to Doncaster to catch both steam again. Here 44871 is seen heading for Lincoln and 60007 heading down the mainline. After both steam passed I headed to Grantham, after a brief look to check for other trains I decided to head for the end of Platform 4 as there was train heading to Leeds at 19:43, After some tense moments 60007 is seen powering through Grantham.
