60163 'Tornado' and 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' on 'The Coronation', Colton Junction and York, 16/5/09

Well What can i say, a good few hours spent chasing the Coronation around the York area! This Years Coronation, another mainline re-run of a sell out tour, this one was last years Coronation, which exclusivly featured haulage by 3 A4 Pacifics, 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley', 60009 'Union of South Africa' and 60019 'Bittern', all were posed at York with Celebrity A4 4468 'Mallard', the idea for this years tour was to have the 3 A4s Hauling the train along with the Final Leg being Headed by New Build A1 60163 'Tornado' on the final leg, how ever just days before the tour, A4 60019 was Pulled From the Tour, meaning that the A1 was dragged down to London by class 66 diesel to cover 60019s leg of the tour

in this video, we see 60163 hauling 60019s leg of the tour, at Colton Junction, just outside of york where the East Coast Mainline meets the Mainline from Leeds and Pontefract. then some shots Filmed at York Station and the National Railway Museum, then ending up with 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' hauling its leg of the train to Edinburgh.

i do apologise for the Final Shot, 60007 was chucking out alot of Soot, everyone including myself, My Mum and Little Brother Joshua were covered in soot, also some got onto my camera, meaning on the final shot there are Black Dots on the shot, i am very sorry
