Crewe Railway Station - 2nd April 2016

First time I have seen West Coast Railways since their ban was lifted. 57601 leads 57316 into Platform 12 whilst working 1Z49 London Euston to Fort William 'The Winter West Highland Statesman Day 1'. 57601 was originally intended to lead the tour out, but due to an unknown reason, 57316 is seen running around onto the front.
