34067 | Scarborough - (reverse of outward route) - Crewe |
Notes :
(1) John Clifford comments: This tour was due to be hauled by 46201 'Princess
Elizabeth' but this loco as unavailable. Apart from the E.C.S. arriving late the
outward train ran without problem. On the return it was found at the Bootham
water stop that a lubrication pipe had broken. The train was taken slowly into
York. Here one of the support crew went to the museum to get a replacement from
34051 'Winston Churchill'. Once the repair had been carried out we set off
regaining some of the lost time. By not taking water at Denton the rest of the
lost time was recovered. An 'on time' arrival at Crewe would have been possible
had we not been stopped outside.
