Dancing Shoes On!

            With its dancing shoes on (or down!) on the Third Rail, GBRf's Caledonian Sleeper-liveried Class 92, 92 033 prepares to leave the former international platforms at Waterloo station with 1Z24 to Blackpool North.

In keeping with the rest of the GBRf 2018 "Out of the Ordinary" four day charity railtour, the Waterloo to Blackpool leg contained a number of rarities and "firsts".

Over 20 years on from plans to run the ill-fated 92-hauled Nightstar services from Waterloo International, this was the first time a Class 92 had worked a passenger service out of the London terminus.

92033 was also working a passenger train on the Third Rail for the first part of the journey.  Apart from a very brief trip on the juice in August 2015, it's not thought 033 had been on the Third Rail (bar testing at Brush) since before it was stored in April 2006.  Added to that, it was almost certainly the first time 033 had run ETS whilst on DC - with the number of times any 92 has done that before being extremely limited (if any?).

The route to Blackpool then took in Wembley Yard, a rare crossover at Hanslope (will let the track bashers explain that one...) and a trip through Crewe Basford Hall - before finally becoming the first electric locomotive to work into Blackpool.
