LNER Pacifics at Marylebone in 1986
On several occasions two "Shakespeare Limited" Luncheon trains were operated on the same day. However the 12 October 1986 saw the unusual sight of three Gresley Pacifics in steam together at Marylebone. 4468 "Mallard" (the world steam speed record holder) is seen alongside 4472 Flying Scotsman which was in light steam to act as standby loco. The other train was hauled by 4468's sister 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley. Our cameraman Roger G Howard was at Marylebone before travelling to Stratford on Avon capturing this unique moment. Special thanks to him for use of this archive footage.
