Welcome back Derek, and what a way to come back with not one but two steamers, a sight for sore eyes.

Was britannia still in use in the 60s when the 47 was new?

LOVELY!! 14P Anyone? !! What's the 47 as well. Thanks for sharing. I've been scouring the YT latest threads hoping to see steam on the mainline again ... now it's restarting, it's really quite exciting to see. 2 of my long-term favourites here!! Alan.

Thanks, lads it was nice to capture the two steam locos. I have been filming just not upload the vids...

Is this the Railway’s equivalent of ‘Social Distancing’ with the two Steam locomotives separated by a carriage from the ‘trailing’ Diesel?

The UK has lost so much of its railway manufacturing industries since the network was sold off in the 1990's. Only the works at Derby now deign and build trains from scratch. Doncaster, York, Swindon, Crewe and Stratford along with countless other independent manufactures have all gone with the loss of tens of thousands of highly skilled engineers. The modern UK mindset is that we can by our trains and locomotives from overseas when we should be building them here. These amazing steam engines area a testament to when the UK built the finest locomotives in the world. My sincere thanks must go successive governments both Tory and Labour for everything they have done to bugger things up! Britain's railways today are expensive, unreliable, and poorly managed.
