Here are some photos from "The Coronation",Day 1 on 15/05/10. 60019 'Bittern' hauled the train for the entire journey from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh and performed faultlessly with some brilliant turns of speed.

Day 2:
Here are some photos from Day 2 of Steam Dream's "Coronation" in 2010. Day 2 was an extra trip from Edinburgh to Ayr and return with Black 5 45407 working the train throughout. It included some very rare track with steam in the form of the Glasgow "Union" line via St Enoch which reportedly hasn't seen a passenger carrying train since the 60's and has only seen use from 5305 on an E+C move in the 1980's.

Day 3:
Here are the photos from the 3rd and final day of "The Coronation" from Edinburgh to London Kings Cross. The train was hauled from Edinburgh-York by 60019 'Bittern' with 47760 assisting from the rear due to "Fire Risks". 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' took the train from York-London Kings Cross and performed superbly. A huge thanks once again to Mike Notley for organising the coach and everybody else from Steam Dreams,Network Rail,Loco support crews and WCRC crews as well as anyone else involved in the running of the train.

There are also these that i took on Sunday night/Monday morning,i wanted to see the sleeper but didn't realise all the movements that went on between 23:00 and 01:00! So me and Oli ended up on the station till the gates were been locked and the friendly scottish station man' had to come and tell us they were locking up! Eventually got back into the hotel at 01:15 and lost a bit of sleep but who cares,i hope you will agree these are some of my best shots i have ever taken at night. They are actually my best of the weekend.
It includes 4 67s and 2 90s as well as about 4 or 5 different Mk2/3 sets,can't complain there isn't anything interesting in Scotland,it was brilliant!
