The Cumbrian Mountaineer - 9th May 2009

9th May 2009

D444 Bristol to Shrewsbury
97301/ 37676 Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth
D444 Aberystwyth to Crewe
37676 Crewe to Bristol

This tour was the first visit of a class 50 to Aberystwyth and also the first tour to feature a Network Rail class 97 (97301 formerly 37100)

Got off the tour at Shrewsbury after D444 had 'coolant' issues (it was pouring out of the side at the top of Talerdigg!!). The 50 made it to Crewe where 37676 worked the train forward.
