Full description from the producer:

Join us for this unique journey along the North Wales Coast route with an ex-LMS Royal Scot. Starting from Crewe we leave the West Coast Mainline and follow in the footsteps the Irish Mail express via Chester and continue at high speed along the coastline through Colwyn Bay to Llandudno Junction. After our water stop, we continue towards Anglesey passing famous landmarks such as Conway Castle and the Britannia Bridge, racing across the countryside to our destination at Holyhead.

The timeless nature of this railway is added to by the appearance of classic signal boxes and semaphores, still in operation despite the threat of imminent removal. With live sound recorded from the locomotive, we bring the action right to you.

This program also features on screen locations titles, including commentary from the locomotive’s crew.

Locomotive Featured: LMS ‘Royal Scot’ Class, No. 46100 ‘Royal Scot’
