Great Central Railway Birstall Leicestershire 31st August 2024

            It's been a while since I've been to the foot-crossing at Birstall but then again it's been a while since new-build A1 4-6-2 60163 Tornado has pulled a passenger train!

Facing and heading north with the returning 10.00 ex-Loughborough Tornado creates a bit of excitement on the gradient out of Leicester.
