After 35 minutes at Percy Main for passengers to take photos with two dozen princesses and superheroes, Guard Paul prepares the train for departure.
After each train gets back to the museum, the engine runs round and propels the carriages into the north headshunt. This allows various characters to quickly leave the show in the museum and board the carriages whilst the public walk along to the platform.

At the end of the day, Robert and Aaron completed their work on 03078's compressor belts. The locomotive was then started for proving and moved to the new road for display.
