It's back to York for another visit after last Saturdays sojourn and another steam loco. I travelled up with Steve and his wife. Today, it is 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley', an LNER A4, 4-6-2 wheel configuration, 'Pacific', steam locomotive, built in 1937 and a class 55 Deltic, D9000, which I had never seen! The service that came up to York from London Kings Cross Rail Station, was headed by the diesel locomotive, Class 55, Deltic D9000, 'Royal Scots Grey'.
D9000 arrives at platform 11.
D9000 is uncoupled from its coaches and moves off to the sidings at NRM.
It was scheduled to be decoupled from its train and 60007 would take the train the rest of the way to Edinburgh. A few minutes after D9000 had disappeared down the track to the Parcels Sidings, 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley', the A4 Pacific was reversed up to the coaching stock and coupled-up.
60007 is reversed up to the coaching stock at platform 11.
I then moved off the stairs and down to the platform to take a few final photos.
