This Autumn, we welcome back 60163 Tornado back as she heads our train The Great Northern.
Departing from Birmingham in the morning we head via the East Midlands to Yorkshire, where our train will then head West to join the world-famous Settle & Carlisle line to Carlisle.
At Carlisle, a 2000 year old city with plenty of history to discover, you will have several hours to explore whether that is the Cathedral, Castle or any of the museums and galleries.
Leaving Carlisle, the train heads eastwards over the Tyne Valley Line to Newcastle. Here, Tornado is in home territory as we get to experience some fast running over the East Coast Mainline.
At Darlington, Tornado will leave the train and the remainder of the journey will then be diesel hauled.
