Re: 70000 Movement Friday 14th June 2013

Seems an odd place to be going given there are no mainline tours around the sheffield area this weekend and the nearest preserved line / centre is barrow hill.

Also would seem a strange place to take it for a test run

I wonder if there is a subsequent movement missing here ?

Re: Video of BR 70000 Britannia on The Cumbrian Guardsman 2/

Excellent videos there :D

Interested to know where the locations were if possible please ?

In the first video you seemed to be able to see it coming for ages

Saw Britannia yesterday on light engine move to Hellifield through Doncaster on the centre roads running some 64 mins early 8)

They are hoping to take it to Shipley triangle tomorrow to turn it.
Does the turntable at Keighley on the KWVR not work or is 44871 too big for it ?
