The huge popularity of Steam can clearly be seen as BR Standard Class 7MT 'Britannia' Pacific Pacific No. 70013 'Oliver Cromwell', banked by West Coast Railways-liveried Class 47/4 No. 47804, powers under the B1222 Road Bridge as it approaches Sherburn-in-Elmet Station, heading the West Coast Railway Company's 06:10 Ealing Broadway to York 'The Yorkshireman' Charter service on a bitterly cold 3rd March 2018.
This was scheduled to be the final Mainline Tour before the withdrawal of 70013 for overhaul, although the condition of its boiler May allow an extension of the running period, but this is dependent on the boiler review and ongoing discussions with its caretakers, the 5305 Locomotive Association."
