So today's video was just a short 'out & back' one to catch 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley, fresh from overhaul, doing a circuit from Crewe to Carlisle. I left my local station and travelled up to Hartford first, waiting there for around an hour whilst we waited for her to finish replenishing her water tank at Preston. Wasn't long before we found out she was approaching Warrington Bank Quay, and it all happened very quickly after that as you can see. We had a great blast of the whistle as she sped through, running a little early.

The class 86 was intended to be in this video but for some mildly irritating reason it left Carlisle an hour and a half late so that put paid to that lol.

Then it was 'service hopping' back home to edit the video. Was nice to meet @richardswiderski4985 at Hartford, thanks for making the wait go a lot faster mate! Enjoy!
