RAILS and WINGS and OTHER THINGS: 11th MAY 2022 - 46100 ROYAL SCOT '1Z70 THE YORKSHIRE COAST EXPRESS' CREWE TO SCARBOROUGH AT SWINTON (SY) RAIL STATION.

Another visit to a small station just south of Doncaster, Swinton, to see the steam loco 46100 Royal Scot thunder through the station hauling 'The Yorkshire Coast Express'. The Royal Scot took over hauling 'The Yorkshire Coast Express at Liverpool Lime Street Rail Station for the journey to Scarborough.

Looking south towards Sheffield, from where 46100 Royal Scot will emerge.

I have to say that Swinton (SY) Rail Station has the most delicious coffee that I have tasted from anywhere and the price is only £1! Well done to 'The Friends of Swinton Railway Station' society who manage the facilities there! It was raining and I was informed that the 'Scot' was running 45 mins behind time, so a good coffee in the waiting room was needed!

46100 Royal Scot thunders through Swinton(SY) Rail Station.

That was exhilarating and the platform wasn't crowded. But prior to the 'Scot' there were a couple of freight trains that I also managed to take pics of!

Class 66, 66526 heads the 432K Tinsley Intermodal Term to Felixstowe North F.L.T.

As you can see, the Freightliner consists of many container and empty flat wagons. Too many to count reliably. Not long after, just as I came back from a coffee break, a Railfreight train passed through the station.
