Something for everyone on LSL North-West charter

Class 40 D213 Andania pilots 50050 at Hellifield, on the circular Preston to Preston trip. TOM MCATEE.

Locomotive Services Limited, through its InterCity brand, ran the first muti-traction tour using all preserved former BR heritage locomotives on August 10.

Its ‘North West Wanderer’ charter started at Crewe behind 50050 Fearless, which was making its first passenger run for LSL having only undertaken its first test run the day before. On the rear was 45118 The Royal Artilleryman, which was providing train supply.

The ‘50’ ran via a classic route for the type - the West Coast Main Line to Carlisle, although with the hard work done, it shut down on the descent of Shap.
