    Nearing journeys end, 71000 puts on the power and whistles to the waiting crowd to the north of Waterbeach

    71000 Duke of Gloucester on today’s trip to Ely, something that’s quite a rarity with Ely as a destination for steam
    Seen at Waterbeach, Ely & Foxton

    Three clips of 'Duke of Gloucester' at speed with todays Haywards Heath to Ely tour. Outward powering through Welwyn North having been held to let six trains pass at Digswell Junction, and then speeding through Ashwell & Morden after a pathing stop on the fly over at Hitchin gave us a chance to overtake. For the return its Ashwell & Morden again, and the summit of the 1 in 163/1 in 183 climb from Royston, and 'Duke of Gloucester' is seen powering through at speed...

    71000 captured moving the ECS just north of Ely Station, then the return leg between Ely and Little Thetford, followed by the outward journey coasting the last few miles into Ely.
