English: RCTS 'Eight Counties' Rail Tour train at Shirebrook North on Leen Valley line.
View SE, towards Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Nottingham. The Tour had started at Northampton and ran via Market Harborough, Leicester and Nottingham Midland to Netherfield & Colwick; there it was reversed and B1 4-6-0 No. 61302 (built 3/48, withdrawn 4/66 - directly after this Tour) took over to go via Nottingham (London Road High Level and Victoria), Bagthorpe and Bulwell Junctions onto the ex-GN Leen Valley line to Shirebrook North, thence via Beighton and Treeton Junctions, Rotherham Masborough and Aldwarke Junction to Wath Exchange Sidings. From there an Electric hauled the train up the Worsborough Incline and through Penistone and the New Woodhead Tunnel to Godley Junction. There a 'Jubilee' 4-6-0 conveyed us via Stockport, Altrincham, Northwich and Sandbach round to Crewe, where we were handed over to another Electric for a fast run up the WCML back to Northampton!
