The returning Cheshireman charter was scheduled to stop at Northampton's platform one. However, due to conflicting movements and a late-running London Midland service, it was moved to platform two as shown here. Unfortunately, this made for an awkward position to photograph it tight up against the new footbridge. 60009 'Union of South Africa' waits whilst passengers disembark having enjoyed a steam-hauled return trip to Chester whilst a young admirer who has cabbed the A4 has his picture taken by his father in time-honoured tradition!
