45690 Leander slogs up Battlefield bank
LMS Jubilee class No. 45690 "Leander" ascends Battlefield bank near Shrewsbury with the returning Salopian express special. The tour began at Bishop Auckland under diesel haulage. The Jubilee was attached at Preston and would run to Shrewsbury and return the train to Preston where two Class 47s would take the train back up to Bishop Auckland. I did have a spot of bother at this location the wind blew my tripod over with my SLR camera on top and bang on the floor. I thought it was smashed but i got very lucky and wasn't badly damaged. This is the first time i have seen Leander since returning to steam and it's great to see the Jubilee back on the mainline.
