Hello everyone,

I've just seen a post on Facebook of 72005 climbing the Lickey on an SO Paignton - Newcastle working (M314).
Apparently it made news in one of the Bristol Newspapers at the time.
Do any of you know where she came onto the train, and how she made her way south prior to this working?.

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.

Hi Bob.

Several reports of Clans in the area. As Clans worked to Leeds; it's possible one was borowed to substitute for a failed loco.
