28th NOVEMBER 2024: 1Z70-LONDON KINGS CROSS to YORK with 34046 BRAUNTON at DONCASTER RAIL STATION.

 I was supposed to go to York to view Braunton, but I felt like a change of station and besides I wanted to see the steam loco at speed as it charged through Doncaster. And charge it did, as since it departed Kings Cross, it was continually 30-40 minutes down on sheduled time. Finally arriving at York, its destination, 38 minutes down at 13:07hrs. 

The image below is a still from my video of Braunton at speed and billowing out smoke from its funnel with 57311 'The instituation of Mechanicl Engineers' at the rear of the train.





34046 Braunton leads a train with 53711 through Doncaster station.

Other locos seen at Doncaster were:


LNER 91109 at the rear of York to Kings Cross service.

150269 arrives P4 for Sheffield.

158860 Liverpool Lime Street to Cleethorpes at P8.

Northern set 185117 at P8 bound for Cleethorpes.

221142 Grand Central set bound for Leeds.

801105 Azuma at P4 for York.

DVT 82225 leads a south bound service to KingsX.

Ground signal 1477.


Southeastern class 466016 waiting at the Works sidings for rectification.

A very satisfying couple of hours at Donny station and decent wheather too.

RJC
End.
