When did 68025 join the party? When I saw it first thing 57305 was bringing up the rear.

I'm guessing it was at Crewe, as according to RTT the train became approximately 30 minutes late departing there, it was still 57305 attached at Stockport.

Yeh I saw it at Stalybridge and Stockport this morning so that makes sense. Good excuse to go to the station pub later if I'm back home in time, and see if the 68 is still on when it comes back through Stalybridge

Nice pics aswell

The 57 reportedly went as it had an ETH fault that couldn’t be rectified

A splendid day out, and the sausage rolls and sandwiches were well filled and delicious !

It was a good tour, a good day out and it was good to see @metrocammel @theblackwatch @Jordy @yorksrob @MidnightFlyer @table38 @class47 @Andy @D6700 @TimSYoung40145 @Crossover @wellhouse ... and possibly others who I've missed!

And also a big thank you to everyone who put time and effort into this and made it possible!

Though not all at the same time of course :P

A great tour for the little bit I was onboard (Reddish South to Huddersfield for those who don't know - quite pleased with having the opportunity to use Reddish South too!) and the 37's were in good form, particularly powering out of the loop at Diggle and into the tunnel

Indeed. The Mk 2's behaved perfectly. And we had the perfect carriage (next to the buffet car )

Absolutely brilliant day.
