6233, outward leg of The Cheshireman, 06.39 London Euston-Chester (1Z86, 3E), site of Roade station Making a fine sight with its matching set of LMS crimson stock 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' passes Roade working the outward leg of the Cheshireman charter that left Euston at 06.39 running as 1Z86 heading for, not surprisingly, Chester! Looks can, however, be deceiving with the Duchess not actually doing very much work with just steam emanating from the chimney with 47813 working hard at the rear. With the recent weeks of incredibly dry weather, a steam ban was imminent and it was too risky to have smuts and soot raining down on tinder dry lineside vegetation thanks to a continued lack of maintenance by Network Rail. Notice the inquisitive cat standing stationary watching the train at fairly close quarters seemingly unphased by such a giant noisy machine!
