...Yes one from Llandudno (1Z40 0704) and one from Tyseley Stream Trust (1Z34 0830). Both these would pass through the South Yorkshire railway station of Swinton Interchange within approximately 14 minutes of one another on their way to York...or so one hoped!
In the event, Steam Locos 1Z40 Royal Scot was delayed 8 minutes passing at 12:12hrs and either due to this or some other reason, 1Z34 Duchess of Sutherland was delayed 52 minutes, passing at 12:38hrs.
Plan of Swinton (SY) Rail Station.
But never mind about that. There were plenty of other trains either stopping or passing through to photograph or video whilst waiting.
6233 Duchess of Sutherland passing through the station.
1Z40 46100 Royal Scot approaching Swinton.
6100 Royal Scot passing through the station.
1Z34 6233 Duchess of Sutherland hauling "Christmas Market" train through Swinton.
Both trains continued north to York.
Some other trains seen while waiting for the main event were:-
66727 passes through Swinton(SY) Rail Station. 51 containers!
66508 passes through Swinton(SY) Rail Station. Hauling 35 wagons!
...and I do like a signal, 'S461'!
RJC.
