Blimey, What a Load of BLS! - 70011, 70019, 37422 & 37423 at Chelford

After an eventful day three, which saw the coaching stock derail in York Yard first thing this morning, a 61 late start from York and a shortcut via Stalybridge, the Branch Line Society's 'Summer Syphon' tour, with day three entitled 'The Primary Colours', passes Chelford just 36 late, having seen 70011 and 70019 join the party at Heaton Norris Junction for the run thrugh to Crewe. 37422 (37266) is tucked in behind the Freightliner pair, with 37423 bringing up the rear.

Things would go downhill rather rapidly on the tour's return from Crewe to York, with 37423 firstly experiencing power issues, necessitating an unscheduled trip to Manchester Piccadilly to allow 37422 to lead, before 422 sat down at Earles Sidings with low oil pressure, having to be rescued by 66066. Still, plenty of potential winners for haulage for those on board!

The tour is running in aid of Martin House Hospice, which provides family led care for children with life shortening conditions. It is a place where children, young people and their families can come to stay from time to time along their journey and find support, rest and practical help. You can find out more about the hospice, and donate if you're able to do so, at www.martinhouse.org.uk
