    That's the second time you've caught me on video Chris, I feel like I'm being stalked :lol:, bloody painful standing astride that fence I can tell you.

    Didn't the weather change though, hissing it down an hour before and then bright sunshine.

    well filmed but the wind is always a bummer up there, much better off in the valley or somewhere sheltered

    Britannia triumphs on the S&C 3 March 2012

    The first BR Standard loco, 4-6-2 No 70000 Britannia, was restored to main line running last year in unlined black and unnamed, but has now emerged in full Brunswick green glory and with a white roof, as when it hauled King George VI's funeral train in 1952. Today was its first public train after renaming by Prince Charles during a Royal Train journey over Copy Pit last month.

    It was a dull damp and misty morning when Britannia joined the UK Railtours excursion at York to run via Leeds and Settle to Carlisle. Its performance with the 11-coach Royal Scot set sparkled from the off. We reached Colton Junction at 59 mph, Bolton Percy at 65, Ulleskelf at 68 and briefly touched 70 before slowing for Church Fenton.

    Running through West Yorkshire was efficient but unspectacular, but after the water stop at Long Preston (and now in sunshine) we took off again like a rocket. We took a real run at the northbound 1 in 100 by reaching 62 at Settle Junction, and maintained the momentum all the way up: Settle at 57, Stainforth at 53, Horton at 49 and Selside at 46 before the slowing for Ribblehead. Now I am no Mike Notley, but of six unassisted northbound S&C runs I have done since starting detailed records (Britannia, Tornado, Bittern, Scots Guardsman twice and Leander), this was the fastest BY FAR!

    The run across the tops was bright and lively, and the run down to Carlisle even livelier, such that we arrived on the outskirts of Carlisle 15 minutes early for the inevitable wait for a platform.

    This iconic locomotive has returned to the northern hills in spectacular fashion: handsome is, and handsome certainly does!

    Thanks for the positive comments, The external mic would not play ball with the camera yesterday and when I realised this the Brits smoke was coming up the valley so I was stuck on Blea Moor in a rather savage wind just with the camera mic but these things happen. The music Shep is from a chappy called Paul Mounsey.

    Phil.

    Many thanks for the report Peter; always enjoy reading your accounts.

    The lively running may be accounted for by Carlisle man Brian Grierson being at the regulator (it certainly appears to be him by looking at all of the videos/photos), who drove 46229 to the (still unbeaten) Blue Riband record.

    I would put that run down to Paul Kanes skill with the shovel.

    I wasn't crediting Brian Grierson solely for the record, but his driving was nevertheless an essential component.
