The best specific train to run in the UK? A toss-up between two classic ltours:
5th June 1993: "The Bishops Triple" hauled by 50033 + D400 + 50007. 8,100hp at the camshafts. I saw them arriving at & departing Cheltenham. I'll forgive the Pilkington Mk1s!
2nd May 1987: "Three To The Sea" hauled by 20030 + 20064 + 20118. I saw them at their Bedford Midland pick-up.
In both cases, their departing "thrash" was a life-memorable moment.
