70000 Euston-Chester 3/12/2011

Footage of 70000 passing Wardle in Cheshire.

Superb camera work great footage really enjoyed that...thanks Simon

 

Britannia glinting in the sun just north of Rugeley Trent Valley: http://www.flickr.com/photos/david_1984/6447541985/sizes/l/in/set-72157628261984195/ Pity the regulator was eased just coming through the station, presumably sighting double yellows for Colwich.

 

Saw the tour at Stafford this morning. It passed through on the down fast, which had signals at red until Brittania was under the footbridge. They then cleared to green which led to a fantastic display of steam and sound from the engine. Great fun!

 

Hi guys,this is my attempt on the Britannia this afternoon at Bunbury,thanks for sharing your video and still footage,best wishes Tony

Some nice vids and pics on this thread, 70000 certainly sounds as good as 70013 now.

 

Just back off this one,really good day. 70000 gave an assured performance throughout. The 30 min late start(due to minor operational farce mentioned earlier)had all been made up by Litchfield. Return trip virtually on-time/early throughout. Large numbers lineside everywhere and mainly good sunny weather. One good advantage of Chester as a destination is that the ECS and loco are berthed in sidings directly by the main platforms thus giving everyone ample opportunity for photos ect.

 

A great day out yet again with steam dreams to chester with 70000.many thanks to steam dreams w.c.r.c. and not forgetting the surport crew of
70000;and real nice christmas presernt from my hubby Ron;
hope you all have a great christmas and new year;
all the best

Nice one What a sound

 

70000 near Old Linslade yesterday morning.

 

Heres a few from Euston on saturday am

 

After hearing Britannia running from Willesden to Bristol on Thursday, I agree, Britannia is one hell of a noisy beast.
So what has changed over the past twelve months to make such a difference? <BJ>

 

A "tune up" in Ropley MPD perhaps.................
