Rule Britannia
BR Standard Class 7, 70000 "Britannia" leads "The Brexit Express" railtour through Goostrey as it makes it way to York as 1Z50. Just visible is Class 47, D1924 (47810) "Crewe Diesel Depot" on the rear.
The locomotives (and stock) are owned by multimillionaire financier and ardent Brexit supporter Jeremy Hosking. Mr Hosking, who I was reliably informed was on the footplate, would have been hoping that this tour - run by his company, Locomotive Services Limited - would've been a celebration of Brexit. However, it was not to be, as signified by the European Union flag still being on the front alongside the Union Jack.
