I can just imagine Charlie now. "Yes.... tell those oiks at National Rail I want steam. None of this diesel malarky." -- Was there a 67 on the back just in case?

[acw71000]

The 67 towed the train and 60163 from Manchester back to Preston and then 60163 was serviced before returning to Manchester to pick up HRH
