A rare LMS 'double' in Cumbria

摘要

Two ex-LMS passenger locomotives were in action at speed on parallel routes in North West England on May 30. 6233 Duchess of Sutherland hauled the first out-and-back steam service over Shap this year with PMR Tours' 'Royal Scot', while 'Jubilee' 5690 Leander was used on Vintage Trains' Birmingham-Ravenglass 'Cumbrian Coast Express', taking over the train at Carnforth.rnThis is unlikely to be repeated in the near future, as the two locomotives are widely employed on other duties around the country.
