For the return leg there was only 1 place we were ever going to consider; Edge Hill. It's been nearly 8 years since we last came here but being 1715 in the evening and not 0600 in the morning this time there were a few more onlookers present...The video doesn't really do justice to just how loud 5043 was as it accelerated out of the cutting from Lime Street, you really had to have been there to truly appreciate it and the shower of cinders everyone was treated to as it blasted past; absolutely worth the £6.20 train fare to get there...

Now that is a beautfully framed shot. (I just hope no-one baled out during the extended narrowboat sequence and missed it)

5043 you beautiful beast of a locomotive. Magical and that Western whistle makes the hair on the neck stand up. Finally, I just loved to see what looked like a police van come to a sudden halt on the road above. I bet he couldn't believe his ears or eyes. 😍
