Hello & welcome to Harnetty Railways

In this video we see Locomotive Services Group's A2 pacific 60532 Blue Peter on a crew training run on the Crewe 5A circle via Chester, Shrewsbury, Telford & Stafford.

We start at the headquarters of LSL as we see Blue Peter being prepared in the yard on a drizzly morning at Crewe.

A short while later we see the pacific roll into the station with 8 carriages a mixture of MK1's & MK2's in tow with LSL's pair of class 20's on the rear.

While awaiting the off we have a chance to have a gd look round the A2 in great detail following completion of his restoration by LNWR Heritage LTD within LSG back in the early summer.

Soon it was time to go as we see Blue Peter depart Crewe.

We head to Wellington to see the A2 pass by on the up mainline as he heads back to Crewe via Telford & Stafford.

Unfortunately we didn't get what we had hoped for due to major disruption with The Transport for Wales services along with the safety valves lifting.

The following day Blue Peter would have had another run on the circle however the run was cancelled after the run we saw was a success.

Now we wait with bated breath on when the A2's 1st public revenue earning mainline run will be.

Thanks for reading enjoy the film.
