31.5.10 - 50022 1Z87 Stockport - Edinburgh, Garsdale

Just stunning. When everything comes together there's no other way to describe it. A great railtour with classic traction and matching stock, and favourable timings for the photographer, and for once the weather played its part as well. In BR blue 55022 Royal Scots Grey thunders through Garsdale with the 'Deltic Retro Scot II' railtour (running as 1Z87) from Stockport to Edinburgh and return, the outward run via the S&C and the return run would be via the ECML.
