86101, outward leg of the London to Settle & Carlisle Railway, 06.06 London Euston-Carlisle (1Z61, RT), Victoria bridge
Making use of a new photographic position as a result
of recent embankment clearance 86101 ‘Sir William Stanier FRS’ leads the outward leg of the 1Z61 London to Settle & Carlisle Railway charter past Victoria bridge just south of Roade. It makes a change to see the LSL-owned ac electric rather than the more common 86259 and also that it has been pathed via Northampton thus on the slow line. Due to a partial camera malfunction involving the touch screen, I have managed to crop the heritage Mk. I stock and 47514 (in actuality being 47853) bringing up the rear.
