Funny Looking Steam Engine
Unfortunately for the groups of expectant onlookers at Hartford, the booked steam engine for Saphos Trains' "The Fellsman", Britannia, had failed at Carlisle and had been removed from the train for the return leg.
Fellow Locomotive Services Limited loco Class 47, 47805 (D1935) "Roger Hosking M.A. 1925-2013" stepped up from its support loco role and led the train back home as 1Z72 Carlisle to Crewe.
