22nd APRIL 2022 - 6233 DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND '1Z19 THE GREAT BRITAIN XIV' PASSES THROUGH DONCASTER ON IT'S WAY TO YORK (1st leg).

This is the 1st leg of an around UK rail journey. Fortunately, this 1st leg is from Kings Cross to York and passes through Doncaster, non-stop. Which is a shame as The Duchess of Sutherland is such a great-looking steam loco that it is always a pleasure to get up close and personal to it. But not this time.

Prior to The Great Britain XIV, a class 47, the number of which, I didn't catch, belonging to West Coast Railways thunders through the station. Towards York?

Soon after, The Duchess of Sutherland and The Great Britain XIV thundered through...and that was it!
