The Northwest Wanderer Tour 10/08/2024

Full trip of ‪@locomotiveservicesgroup‬'s 'The Northwest Wanderer' railtour from Crewe to Crewe via Carlisle, Settle, Hellifield and Todmorden using pretty much LSL's entire diesel fleet.

The day was going smoothly until later in the afternoon, when a track circuit in Wigan decided to fail, causing the pair of 20s and 37s to arrive at Preston thirty minutes down and leave fifty minutes down on the third leg and returned to Crewe thirty minutes down.

The trip was amazing and the staff were polite and helpful despite the coach I was in being electrically dead. I was booked in first class dining with breakfast and lunch, which were amazing. I highly recommend InterCity's railtours.
