Back In (Wartime) Black

LNER Class A4 4498 "Sir Nigel Gresley" heads through the evening light at Acton Bridge as it works the return leg of its first mainline passenger-carrying tour since its major overhaul that ran from 2015 to 2022.

 

The charter - operated by Locomotive Services Group - was exclusively for Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive Trust members, with the return leg running as 1Z62 16:00 Carlisle to Crewe.

 

SNG has been painted temporarily into Wartime Black for its return-to-service testing and this will be its only mainline charter outing in this coat of paint before it receives one of its more well-known liveries ready for its stay with LSG working Saphos Trains charters.

 

Consist: 4498 + 35461 9479 13227 1203 3125 3148 3100 80044 3122 3045 + 47853
