Another change
of venue for the Wales & Borders loco hauled service and also
a change of subject. Today it was the turn of 37401 "The
Royal Scotsman" to perform on the 10.28 Crewe-Cardiff
service. Seen here arriving at Nantwich - note the superelevation
on the track making the locomotive lean into the platform. There
is a sharp curve on the station and a piece of fast track to go
with it, hence the compensation.
The beautiful colour of the Scotsman livery is caught
by the strong Spring sunshine to perfection - pity about the silly
numbers on the cab side though. The train is seen leaving Nantwich
framed by the ornate overbridge - it defies description really!
