60103 WHITACRE JUNCTION 8241 DE B&W
Running 100 minutes late, mainly due to serious, mindless trespass in the Burton on Trent area, 60103 'Flying Scotsman' negotiates Whitacre Junction from the Kingsbury Loop line, to gain access to its scheduled water stop at Coleshill Parkway with the 1Z31 York - Paddington leg on the final day of RTC's 'Great Britain XII' railtour. Further delays due to problems with Flying Scotsman's injectors meant that 60103 was assited by a WCRC Class 37 diesel from Hinksey, Oxford to Reading where the railtour was terminated.
