Former Great Western Railway 4-6-0 steam locomotive No. 5972 "Olton Hall" was at the helm of the Railway Touring Companies railtour "The Wizards Express" that was steam hauled from Carnforth to York and back again to Hellifield via Skipton ( 5972 starred as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films and the steam locomotive was renamed "Hogwarts Castle" for the film series). 5972 is first seen at Clapham just before the heavens opened and shortly after the water stop at Hellifield at Coniston Cold just as the heavens did open !
Took a gamble that 5972 would still be working at Coniston but sadly it shut off just as it came into view. Class 47 number 47746 was on the rear .
