What I can't understand is why thay didn't put Cromwell on the Santa Plus and the N2 on the Special. Also, why they didn't swap the Peak and Cromwell round because Cromwell was running backwards!? It's just one of those mysteries!

I did wonder about those things myself. Especially the N2/Brit swap. I suppose Cromwell was going to run in reverse 50% of the time whatever it worked though.

Yes. It just seems odd to me.

Correct. Cromwell would have been running backwardsn 50% of the time as there is no turntable at Leicester North. The engine runs around the train, hooks up and brings it back tender first.
Excellent video. Well filmed and put together.

Yes, it just seems to me that Cromwell was relegated- alot of the staff at the GCR can't understand why either!
