Rehearsal for a 'Bigger' Day? - a photo on Flickriver

Rehearsal for a 'Bigger' Day?

            On 17th May 2012 'Princess Royal' No. 6201 'Princess Elizabeth' went out on a main line test run around the East Midlands Circle from Tyseley, and is seen passing Elford while heading back to Tyseley. That this test was  organised by  EWS/DB Schenker, and not West Coast, and included two 'Royal' Class 67s in the consist, fuelled speculation that 'Lizzie' was in line for her long sought after 'Royal' turn. Of course, all such speculation was refuted by all concerned, and that the presence of Nos. 67026 'Diamond Jubilee' and 67006 'Royal Sovereign' on the day was mere coincidence, and insurance. 2012 was the year of the Queens Jubilee, resulting in many journeys throughout the nation, and sure enough. 'Lizzie' eventually got her 'Royal' turn a few weeks later on 11th July. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
