The last of my delayed postings: the "Avocet Achievement" railtour from Crewe to Glasgow took place on 07/10. This time, the tour was a success, unlike the last time where it failed near WBQ and got dragged.
I saw it at #carlisle and #penrith.

π Caught a great unexpected move at Acton Main Line
The Northern Belle railtour passing through with two West Coast Railways Class 57s, top and tail.
Not something you see every day! Which one would you rather have leading? π
