    According to one of the youtube comments, they have done a great job bringing a "very old locomotive" back to running order...

    Bellerophon says "hold my coal"...

    Great to see Avocet back running. Was always disappointed the last ECML locomotives didn't get racehorse names

    89001 on the second loaded test run both ways through the Lune Gorge, arriving twenty four minutes early at Tebay, apologies as I had a few focus issues on the return leg.
