On The Cover
The East Coast Main Line hosted two exceptional events in April, as Tornado became the first British steam loco to reach 100mph for 50 years and the ‘Four Trains’ parade brought past, present and future ECML traction together for a unique parallel run. The four generations of ECML power are seen at Shipton-by-Beningborough while the ‘A1’ is at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. CHRIS MILNER
