Description

Full description from the producer:

Filmed from the cab of Class 47 The Queen Mother which will take us over the interesting route from Leicester to the Corby Car Terminal (GEFCO) and through the freight lines around Corby’s
industrial complex.

After departure from the depot at Leicester we travel via Syston South and East Junctions and via Melton Junction (the Derby Test Track is seen) and through Melton Mowbray. (You will hear an engine note change here due to the exhaust gasket blowing). We run through to Oakham and then wrong line to Manton Tunnel and onto Manton Junction where we progress on the
freight-only Up Corby line to Wing Tunnel, Glaston and Seaton tunnels and over Harringworth viaduct. Corby Tunnel at over 1 mile in length is run through and we arrive at the Corby Automotive Terminal.

This was made in conjunction with EWS and operated over many freight-only routes.
