352 views05/07/2013 - Having come off the returning Border Raider at Preston. 60163 "Tornado" runs with support coach back to Crewe as 5330 running under Flag Lane at Farington curve junction.

Just one of those days. Thinking in went to Crewe with the excursion, I was disappointed to find it being pulled by a class 90 electric. Quick research on the internet showed it moving south an hour later. After waiting another hour it arrived on time but closer shots were wiped out by a north bound freight train.
