From the west country, the East Midlands, West Midlands, the Hope Valley, the East Coast Mainline, the West Coast Mainline, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and the Lake District with key locations such as Doncaster, Grindleford & Slitting Mill (just outside Staveley, Derbyshire). 

Highlights in this video include:

  • 45596 Bahamas on a loaded test run at Tamworth in January 2019
  • 60163 Tornado at Warrington Bank Quay on the return leg of The Border Raider 
  • 7029 Clun Castle on a loaded test run at Widney Manor in February 2019
  • 45690 Leander on The Coast to Coast Express at Grindleford in May 2018
