Beeston Beast
The stunning Class 40, 40013 / D213 "Andania" roars past Bates Mill Lane (near Beeston Castle) with the final leg of the Saphos Trains' "The Bristol Forty" railtour running as 1Z44 16:03 Bristol Temple Meads to Bangor.
The Whilstler - which is on long-term hire to Locomotive Services Limited - had started the day taking the ECS from Crewe to Bangor and then worked the tour to Bristol where two steamers (Royal Scot and Sherwood Forester) took over for the leg to Crewe.
Meanwhile, 40013 ran back light to work this final Crewe-Bangor leg in the evening.
