BR 70000 - Steaming Through The Midlands - The Severn Valley Enterprise

70000 Britannia takes her first paying passenger steam tour after recently returning from a quick fire overhaul and loaded test runs. For the time being 70000 is the only operational Britannia class so the return of the Brit is much welcomed. The loco is also fresh out of the paint shop and is looking rather shiny, almost in museum conditon. The tour was a Saphos Trains special running from Llandudno to Bridgnorth via Crewe where Britannia would join the train. The outbound run is captured at Penkridge, Four Ashes and Stourbridge Junction. The return is seen much better weather at Blakedown, where the driver of loco lets off a great chime for the approaching crossing at Churchill where we just happen to be shooting from. Both angles capture this scene.
We're delighted to have Britannia back in full service and we can now look forward to seeing what the rest of the year has in store for a fan favourite. I hope you enjoy the video.

Isn't it cheating being pushed by a deisel !

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

In this case, No, as the diesel isn't working.
