Some great videos on YouTube of Tornado's run on the ECML from York - Newcastle the other night. Especially good to see and hear it whizzing through Durham on the middle track.

Whoa! Impressive. Kind of annoying though, as I have been at the NRM for work twice in the last two weeks and there was no sign of Tornado - can't wait to see her for real!

Apologies for bumping a year old topic, but I thought this story of Tornado rescuing stranded EMU passengers in Kent after the 3rd rail was frozen might cause a chuckle or two: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8428097.stm

Haha, that's good. I like how it's referred to as "a lift" too.

"Some commuters at London Victoria faced lengthy delays until Tornado - Britain's first mainline steam engine in 50 years - offered them a lift."

That's why my little second-job, home-office company is designing modern steam. Higher uptime (availability), lower fuel and maintenance costs.
