34046 Braunton York Christmas Market (Steam Dreams) Doncaster & York also NRM York 28/11/24

I went to Doncaster and York yesterday to see the Steam Dreams tour to York, originally booked for Britannia, but substituted at the last minute with
34046 Braunton
After watching progress, or lack of, on RTT after a problem with Braunton on the ecs, departure from Kings Cross was 41 minutes late and would stay about that for the rest
of the trip to York
34046 Braunton seen here on the DF giving a spectacular smoke display, though photo was directly into the sun running about 42 minutes late at 12:34pm

I then caught the 13:06 train to York to visit the NRM (Photos later), and was surprised to see that 34046 Braunton was still in the station waiting to go to York North yard for servicing

after visiting the NRM i took some more photos of 34046 Braunton waiting to depart for Kings Cross on the return
