Pathfinder Tours - The Twilight Grids A very big thank you to James Mayl for providing me with live gen from the train. | |||
After getting lost in the town of Barnt Green I was VERY disappointed to hear 56115 thrashing up the Lickey Incline for a good couple of minutes | |||
But the grid made a stop and | |||
quite a clagfull exit. | |||
Despite all their best efforts the 56 fans could not make the train fly. Seen here passing Toton. | |||
Upon arrival at York 56115 was detached | |||
56078 was attached to the south end of the train in preparation for the mini tour of the Pennines | |||
The train is seen her passing Mirfield | |||
and again rounding the curve at Marsden | |||
Back at York | |||
56078 was detached and run round to couple to the front of 56115 However multiple working problems (upon starting to one loco pushed the other pulled) meant that the pair had to be reversed with 56115 leading. |
|||
As seen here at Colton Junction. | |||
Off to Bristol the grids power their way from a stop at Colton Junction |
