70000 Britannia hauls the Royal Train 24 Jan 12

a very short clip of BR Brit class 70000 Britannia, storming through Pleasington at the head of the Royal Train; which was conveying Prince Charles from Preston to Wakefield.
The loco has just been repainted green and includes a distinctive white cab roof.
A big thank you to those who provided info for this trip.
ps Whoops, just realised I don't know what year it is. Doh !!!!

Great clip despite the weather. Nice to see Britannia back to looking at her Great Eastern best. Barry

@bkendlerA4 Thanks Barry. I'm looking forward to the Brits runs over the S&C in March -- in hopefully drier conditions ( well I can dream, LOL)
