    I had bought tickets the day before to go to Doncaster hoping to video the special double headed with 60163 Tornado & 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, sadly due to no available footplate crews available Tornado was pulled from the return trip!!

    Earlier in the day a fatality occured at Stevenage and no electric trains were running North from Kings Cross.
    After over 3 hours 91109 Sir Bobby Robson arrived with the first Electric service to Leeds, luckily for me just at the right time for my return home to Huddersfield via Leeds
