57314 ‘Conwy Castle’ tagged onto the rear of the Scarborough Spa Express as it leaves York during summer. Emergency traction power and ETH duties today, just in case Tornado has any issues up front.

One of the more interesting moves as of recent...
#westcoastrailways #Class57 57008 drags a pair of cranes through Doncaster, bound for Carnforth.
With 34067 ‘Tangmere’ up front, 57314 ‘Conwy Castle’ provides ETS and a bit of insurance at the back! Captured at York with 1Z18, the Lancaster to Scarborough on 27/08/25.

Thunderbirds are go! 57313 ‘Tracy Island’ stands at Crewe station. A great idea from a forward thinking operator. Such a shame that their use was curtailed, along with the flexibility they brought.
