60009, return & final leg (Day 9!) of The Highlands and Islands Explorer, Edinburgh Waverley-London Victoria (1Z80), Yaxley TL194921
60009, return & final leg (Day 9!) of The Highlands and Islands Explorer, Edinburgh Waverley-London Victoria (1Z80), Yaxley TL194921 Passengers aboard the ambitious (and highly successful) Highlands and Islands Explorer charter had enjoyed (or endured?) nine days of train travel with more locomotives than I could mention all over Scotland. On day nine of nine, the charter returns south to King's Cross as 1Z80 passing Yaxley just south of Peterborough. The train had left Edinburgh in the morning with 6009 'Union of South Africa' leading. Just after this photograph was taken, the train was halted in Connington loops for a scheduled pathing layover that gave me an opportunity to get south of it again but would it still be in the sun at my chosen location? As it was preparing to enter the loop it had shut off and this combined with the warm afternoon meant absolutely no exhaust!
