that was a nice Run By. only thing i seen was what I thought a diesel on the rear???

I guess that was to protect the move while out on the "network". I really like British Railways.

@bushwacker2008 the diesal was there to tow it back should run into problems on this it's test run... needless to say, it's services weren't required.

WOW, Tornado would even bring a tear to Gresleys eyes....

[JimTLonW6]

Awesome vid; I wonder if Durham Station often sees a crowd like that?

[starwarsgalactia]

[flammabletube]

[woodlandsteve]

What a machine she is, lordy lordy to think she'll be going faster than that, roll on 2009

[RapidAssistant]

There's something so paradoxical in that the consist of Mark 2 coaches look so much more modern than the Tornado, yet they are 35 years older!!!

[sightscreen66]

Well, that seems to say it all. Good work, guys!

British engineering has to be the future way out of this recession. Reverse the 1980s!
