  • 6233, 60163 and now 70000, the Royal Stud grows ever larger. Well liked.

  • @MegaCullie "It's raining... AND I'm in Wakefield, what d'you expect?".

  • Great Video

  • @SatNavDan You would think it would have departed first. In the old days they would sent a "pilot locomotive" ahead of the Royal train to ensure the line was clear.

    Its a shame we couldn't hear the speeches, but it was nice of Charles to give a wave.

  • You got a wave from him!

  • @elinormboston you were very lucky to have the footplate ride and I wish I could have had one HAHA!

  • what a Sweet looking steam locomotive engine :D

    SKK.

  • Excellent video. Thanks for posting.
