Northern Belle’s Coronation headboard was back out on Saturday as they ran a Coronation Day special to Edinburgh, all whilst King Charles was being crowned at Westminster Abbey.

It was a royal occasion, with Union Jacks on display as the Pullman-style train picked up passengers at Derby, Chesterfield, Swinton (South Yorks) and Doncaster stations.

The special headboard was attached to the Class 57 locomotive, which read King Charles III. God Save The King.

A Northern Belle spokesman said: “It was a right royal occasion – a Belle of a Coronation aboard Britain’s most luxurious train.”

The special headboard made its debut when fitted to Class 40 locomotive D345 on the 29th April, which was replacing 34067 ‘Tangmere’ which failed with valve issues.

It isnt yet know when Tangmere will be back in action, but Flying Scotsman is set to haul The Northern Belle later in the year.
