Bank Holiday Monday

401 has been in service again today for the second day of 'Easter Eggspress' trains...


Robert, Cameron and Aadil get to work cleaning the loco.

Aadil helps trainee fireman Robert with the firehole doors whilst driver Joe keeps an eye on the road ahead under Wallsend Road bridge.

After taking water, 401 is stabled by the apron over lunch so the public can watch fireman Cameron oil around.


Dan, today's guard, waves 401 onto the carriages, ready for the 1415 train.

Cameron eases the train into Middle Engine Lane.


After disposal, the locomotive is wiped down and its oil bottles and water treatment bottles are replenished ready for the next crew.
