SR 34067 Tangmere Makes Up For Lost Time At Oxenholme - Winter Cumbrian Mountains Express - 27/01/24

This is my first video of 2024, The Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express to kick off the 2024 Steam Season! Hauled by SR SR Unrebuilt Battle of Britain Class Light Pacific 4-6-2 34067 Tangmere from Carnforth to Preston but with WCR recently served with revocation of use for slam door stock, they've chosen to carry on by operating with a rake of Mk2s

Northbound via Shap and Southbound via the Settle & Carlisle Railway. I first headed to Oxenholme to capture Tangmere on its climb North to Carlisle but she was over an hour late and it was a bitterly cold January morning in Cumbria.

On the return run, I decided to head to Armathwaite for a change, I haven't been here in quite some time and I like the yellow signal box, what can I say! It wasn't quite the speedy run by I was expecting but it was still a sight to see, Good old Spam Cam!

I hope you enjoy this video.
