Guest Locomotive BR Standard class 7MT Pacific Pacific Britannia No. 70013 Oliver Cromwell passes through Burrs Country Park over 50 minutes behind schedule, hauling the recreated 1T57 Reporting Number Service from Heywood to Rawtenstall on 27th July 2013, during the East Lancashire Railway's ""End of Steam Event"". This service was the highlight of this event, recreating the 45th Anniversary of the last British Railways steam hauled working in 1968, the infamous '15 Guinea Special', particularly as it carried the original 'IT57' headboard and hauled the mixed set of ten maroon and blue / grey BR Mk1 coaches in the correct formation, including 'IT57' surviving TSOs Nos. M4933 and M4937, especially painted for this very special occasion.
