UK - Blue Peter returns to the racetrack after over 20 years, 13th July 2024
After 22 years out of steam, LNER class A2 pacific number 60532 "Blue Peter" made a superb return to the East Coast Mainline with a private charter from London Kings Cross to York.
The A2 performed as it should, like a new locomotive, keeping time perfectly (with the exception of a signalling hold up).
Locations in this video a re not in correct chronological order but we chose to put the best at the start for most people to enjoy.
Recorded on 13th July 2024.
Here's an earlier video of mine featuring Blue Peter in 1998 -

Within a few minutes over one hour, three steam locomotives passed over the famous Shap Summit on the West Coast Mainline.

That valve timing is right square on the money! What a sound!
It is a superb exhaust sound, isn't it? - Andy
7:10 love the whistle
I agree. These Garratts do have a really lovely whistle - Andy
Feb 2005 rather than 2006?
I'm not sure where I got the date February 2006. Research suggests this might actually have been recorded in October 2005 - so I've changed the title accordingly. Thank you for pointing out the probable error 👍 - Andy
What's views
Beautiful isn't it? - Andy
"racetrack"?
The East Coast Mainline is called the racetrack because it is largely straight and has traditionally had the fastest trains in the UK - Andy
Gracias Andy! The first 2 minutes looked like a boiling tea pot 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂👏👏👏👏
So great BP is back. She had a horrible failure of her valve gear
It's been a long wait but well worth it - Andy
That’s a stunningly beautiful steam engine. I love that these old engines all have names! Gracias otra vez
Here's a video I recorded in 1998 of Blue Peter - the last time it was on the mainline - Andy ua-cam.com/video/4PVhY0tZYr0/v-deo.html
Beautiful restoration. Since steam is gone in China, nice to see so many locomotives operation in your home country. When was 60532 built?
Built in 1948 at Doncaster Works. Works No. 2023.
Excellent footage there Andy and Tom. It's good to see BP back on the mainline.
Thanks, Andrew. We've been waiting a long time for it. There's a link in my video notes to a 1998 video of Blue Peter if you're interested - Andy

Very nice video
Thank you - Andy

Excellent Video! Loved the finale. Nothing quite like a Castle tearing through the countryside. You got yourself a sub, I look foward to seeing more of your videos 😁😁
Thank you for that. Take a look at my Playlists. I have over 1000 videos already online - Andy
Superb set of videos ,a ultimate Castle in full flight takes some beating , i used to go spotting north of Moorthorpe a place we called slippery bridge as it had a aquaduct of sorts on it ,that climb from Moorthorpe to Ponty makes all engines work hard .
Thank you for your compliment. The bridge you're referring to is about 300 yards further north than the one I used - Andy
A technological and heritage treasure for rail historians and enthusiasts alike !
A glimpse back into history! - Andy
Excellent footage there Andy and Tom. I was also there to film the run but at different locations mainly on the Settle and Carlisle proper
I'll take a look. Hellifield offers more chances because of the water stop - Andy
Nice Footage there Andy and Tom. I was filming next to Tom at the second location
Thank you Andrew. I'm glad you enjoyed it - Andy
The sound is like a beating heart!🚂🚂🚂
I'd be panicking if my heart was going that fast 😆 - Andy
Nice one Andy! Clun Castle was working really well.
Thank you. Castles always sound fantastic too - Andy

Great video. How did you get to the top of the multi-storey? I’ve heard the security can be tight up there. Many thanks!
I always speak to the security staff first to explain what I'm doing - Andy

I'm pleased you enjoyed the video - Andy
Splendid. Such a pleasure to see it again. Many thanks!
I'm pleased you enjoyed the video - Andy
@@AndyDandanFisherSteam Sure did! Thanks.
It's wonderful to see how many steam locomotives are still operating in Great Britain and on main lines at track speed, it appears.
We're incredibly lucky that so many steam locos were saved and are kept working - Andy
@@AndyDandanFisherSteam We have a good number in the USA but most are restricted to how they can operate.
@@1940limited We owe our regular mainline use to the system of rail operation in the UK. The network is state owned and any private company (with the required safety standards) can pay to operate a train on the system. Sadly, our new government intends to nationalise the whole rail system. This could lead to far fewer steam workings - but I hope not! - Andy
@@AndyDandanFisherSteam Many of the Class 1s in the USA don't want excursions with vintage equipment running on their tracks. There's the risk of a breakdown snarling up the line and insurance considerations. I hope they don't nationalize your railroads. I'm sure the private owners do a much better job of running things than government will do.

Gracias for yet another adventure with this beautiful engine and the gorgeous English countryside!🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm pleased you enjoyed the video Tomas. You should visit the UK some day! - Andy
Excellent footage there Andy and Dandan off Tangmere in action? I hope it does the run to Scarborough on the 1st August?
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think there's a good chance it'll do the run in August - Andy

How’s progress going for 72010 Hengist and 61673 Spirit of Sandringham?
Progress is very slow I'm afraid. This is because of a shortage of money rather than a shortage of will. They need donations! - Andy
@@AndyDandanFisherSteam , will they still be the evolved members of their class similar to 60163 Tornado and 6880 Betton Grange?
@@Shark30006 Some changes are being made to the original design to meet with modern needs, but only minimal changes - Andy
@@AndyDandanFisherSteam , will it take years for the two locomotives to be finished?
@@Shark30006 Yes. I would think many years. Money is the problem - Andy

This was a private charter in 2023 and is unlikely to be repeated - Andy
I Recognize that locomotive on the first part it's tki3-87 she is in the wolsztyn depot for restoration and she will go back in service the same time as o149-69
We have two BR Standard tank engines Nos. 82045 and 84030 under construction at the Severn Valley Railway and the Bluebell Railway
It's astonishing just how many new builds there are underway in the UK. I wonder how many will reach completion - Andy
