An interesting WCRC charter ran on Saturday 3rd October with 47786 and 851 on 1Z47, Chesterfield-Portsmouth Harbour and 1Z48, return. The outward leg was, pleasingly, routed via the MML and is seen passing St Albans City spot on time with 786 leading, then later I went to Kensington Olympia for the return leg which ran via the WCML to Bletchley, then Bedford and as outward. 851 was leading for this leg, unfortunately it got as far as Cheddington and failed!
Nice video. I was on that charter, 47851 failed on the return run outside Bletchley, leaving 47786 to push the set into the station and run around to haul the last leg of the tour.
