A couple of moves to go out to see tonight took us to Rugeley Trent Valley, today a private launch event for The Greatest Gathering at Derby Alstom Works took place, which saw a small number of locos attend. These locos would all leave Derby this afternoon, a couple of which going via the Trent Valley route with 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley and 57307 with 390016.
The first move was 5Z58 Derby Adtranz Litchurch Lane - Crewe worked by DRS 57307 dragging Avanti West Coast Pendolino 390016 which has been named ''Railway 200'' and given railway 200 branding. This is to celebrate the Bicentenary (200 years) of the modern railway.
The other move was 5Z08 Derby Adtranz Litchurch Lane - Crewe H.S with 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley, my first mainline steam sighting of the year. 60007 was routed onto the fast line, not exactly going very fast but nice to see otherwise and a lovely chime of the whistle from the crew.
The shots filmed on platform 2 were filmed by myself, the shots filmed from platform 3 were filmed by dad with the other camcorder.
