between Crewe and Chester
World-famous steam locomotive, 60103 Flying Scotsman, is heading for Holyhead today (8th November 2019).
The locomotive is currently at Crewe after an electric locomotive brought passengers up from London Euston earlier this morning.
After Crewe, the locomotive will pass through Chester (10:30), Flint (10:37), Llandudno Junction (11:30), Bangor (12:52) and Holyhead at 13:35.
The return trip across the coast will depart Holyhead at 16:05 and will pass through Bangor (16:40), Conwy (16:56), Llandudno Junction (16:58), Shotton (17:50), Chester (18:03), and Crewe (18:38).
The electric loco will swap at Crewe with Flying Scotsman to take passengers back to the capital.

Which electric loco was on duty for this?
Hi Kat,
I believe it was Class 86 86259 ‘Les Ross’ – this is the heritage electric loco normally used for West Coast Railways operated tours. However, I could be wrong.

Thanks Michael, I had wondered if it was a DB 90, thanks again
Kat
Your most welcome, Kat.
To be honest, Class 90s can be used on some tours as well, so you did right to ask 🙂

Michael
