Quite remarkable climb to Ais Gill due to 20mph TSR a couple of miles from the summit. The recovery was quite extraordinary, to clear the summit at 45mph.

Early in its journey north, Tornado climbs towards Searchlight Lane Junction on the Norton Bridge cut off line.[ATTACH]

Just so. Oxenholme to Shap in 20 minutes is good. DoG did it in 19.5 but had one coach less. But let's face it, both are cracking locos and both sets of times sit with each other pretty well. Someone on board will have more detail I am sure.

Certainly was. I'm looking forward to seeing some photos and videos of the run later.

That wasn't meant as a criticism, just a statement of reality of trying to squeeze steam onto the WCML in 2026. That its still possible is incredible and today's run has been right out of the top drawer.

Sound was sensational, never heard Tornado sound like that before.

OK, it's messy but I have just registered that this trip is one of four steam trips today on the Big Railway and two of them are running without assistance. Not bad for 2026, I think.

Very messy timetable north of Crewe - lots of loops and slow line running. Currently held outside Preston couple of mins early - not much chance of any fast running. Hopefully better north of Preston.

Taking water at Crewe, diesel on rear being removed (not that it did much). Lovely sprint up to 74mph near Penkridge, some nice noise from up front. [ATTACH]
