Rare Mainline outing for L&Y Tank No.1008 at York | 34067 on "Scarborough Spa Express" - 27/06/24

[@theaccountofmine.8779]

Lovely to see it out and about, I liked seeing the valve gear in between the frames, the rods moved up and down like grasshoppers :)

[@joshslater2426]

This is genuinely gutting for me. No. 1008 is one of my favourite York exhibits. It worked at Normanton, where I grew up, so I have a personal connection to it. Yet another loss for the NRM. :,(

Nice video. Also, it was interesting to see Standard & Slim Jim class 33’s coupled together, to see the physical differences

[@zacharyspinks6207]

This is a Great Video.👍

[@middleportjunction]

Great video 👍

[@HighLaneDepot]

So happy to see this move finally happening. I've been waiting for this for a very long time.

[@ConProductions]

Great catch

[@jamesbradford4550]

How are non mainline certified steam trains allowed on the mainline?

[@jimmystransportmarvels8815]

I see also 30925 Cheltenham was also on the mainline, great day in york!

[@BrickishRail]

Yes, unfortunately we had anticipated her move through the station being later than it ended up being, as it was shortly after Tangmere had departed, so sadly we missed capturing this

[@jimmystransportmarvels8815]

@BrickishRail I posted a copyright clip on my channel for railcam if you want to see it!

Doesn't seem to be mutch at York now they have either moved to shilldon on or else were

[@joshslater2426]

York is two bad moves away from me never going again. If they give away Henry Oakley and ruin the Station Hall, I’ll just stop bothering and go somewhere else. Now we’ve lost the Lanky Tank, there’s barely any locos I’m bothered to go see.

[@Thebigfour1923]

@@joshslater2426 but at least there's a schools again

[@bobmather8814]

What happens to NRM when all the locos have been disbursed? At least with 1008 going to Bury there is a chance that it could restored to steam.

[@BrickishRail]

Plenty of locos and stock remain in York, the NRM is currently undergoing a process of refurbishment, which has seen a number of items move to other museums. 1008 is still under the care of the NRM as part of the national collection.

Nice video :)

[@derbyshiretrainboy1884]

Why was the tank engine on the mainline?

[@BrickishRail]

Being moved to Bury Transport Museum, road transport can't access the museum directly so engines have to be shunted to the nearby former Carriage Works in Holgate for onward transport

[@Pirate-Scorcher-1998]

I knew I had that feeling that 1008 would come to bury transport museum one day 😊

[@BrickishRail]

It's been on the cards for a while I believe

[@OliverTwigg-i9c]

Great video! Loved it

[@BrickishRail]

Many thanks :)

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Rather suspicious to see that 3 non CDL fitted mk1s were on the SSE, one clearly being a TSO...

[@BrickishRail]

I understand that any non-CDL fitted coaches being used have their doors locked out of use. The exception being the loco support coach, which is staff use only

[@PoxyMoxon97]

@N_T_H No, yes and no. The first coach is a support coach for the steam loco The Buffet is clearly empty and has signs in the door windows to say those doors and coach are out of use (go and look at Jacobite videos, they did the same there) 99712 is an ex-SK which was converted to a Full Kitchen coach a few years back so no passengers can sit in that even if they wanted to (go and have a look at it on google)
