Statesman Rail operate a number of railtours throughout the year. They usually utilise WCR locomotives and their own dedicated set of Mk II stock decked out in a pseudo Pullman livery. Here, between Roade and Ashton, 57316, formally Virgin's 'Fab 1', leads the 1Z14 Settle and Carlisle Statesman having just left its start point of Milton Keynes. It headed north to Appleby and, as it name would suggest, over the Settle and Carlisle line.
