Covering for the still out-of-action A1 60163 'Tornado', and after months of running in the West and South for the duration of the Summer on various excursions, No.9 returns to its old stomping ground for a run to the north! Ex-LNER Pacific A4 No. 60009 'Union of South Africa' on September 15th 2018, would take up the duty of working UKRailtours' 'The Talisman' from London Kings Cross to Newcastle via the famous East Coast Mainline in place of the poorly Peppercorn Pacific.
In this video, 'Union of South Africa' is captured on its voyage north at 4 locations, including a dominating display at 70mph, of pure LNER action through Doncaster, on the Down Fast as it heads it's train north. Also seen in this video is the A4 passing through Huntingdon, a passenger pickup at Peterborough, and it's 'splash and dash' waterstop at York. Also note, the locomotive displaying a "The Bon Accord" during it's trip, a steam service that used to originally run between Glasgow and Aberdeen in LNER and British Railways' days.
All shots filmed in Stunning 4K on a Panasonic VX980, with a Takstar SGC-598 Microphone.
