Spitfire Tour's Fellsman Chopper took a pair of DRS Class 20's (numbers 20303 and 20304) from Birmingham to Carlisle, via the Settle and Carlisle route. I was on hand at Wigan North Western to see the two 20's passing through, as well as the usual flux of Northern Rail units, Virgin Pendolinos and Voyagers on services to Preston and Oxenholme respectively.
Thanks to YouTubers 11t1chambersm, RoyalDiamond67029 and trainzarethebest, for the company and laughs. |
