Great Central Railway Leicester Leicestershire 2nd June 2024
The GCR tried a new event last weekend running trains continuously overnight Saturday to Sunday. I was rostered to sign on at 04.00am on BR Standard 5 4-6-0 73156.
We headed the 05.00 Loughborough to Leicester North service but after running since Saturday morning the fire was clinkered and 73156 didn't steam as well as it normally does. There was no real problem though and here we are at Leicester North. I'm waiting for Ashley to squeeze the coupling before going inside.
