Ready For The Start Of The Tour - a photo on Flickriver

            Day 1 - 1Z21 09:45 London Victoria to London Gateway

Class 66, 66769 "League Managers Association / LMA; Paul Taylor Our Inspiration" prepares to get the four-day GBRf 2021 tour underway from Victoria.

66769 had been specifically selected to receive the special Prostate Cancer UK livery for the tour as it was one of the few GBRf Class 66/7s that hadn't previously worked a passenger train and therefore guaranteed everyone at least one "Red Pen" locomotive.

This is part of my selection of photos from the GBRf Charity Railtours 2021 "This Time it's Personal" four-day railtour, which I was on throughout.  The tour was raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, a disease that one of the three main organisers has been impacted by and hence the reason for the tour and its strapline.

This was also quite personal for me as my Dad has battled prostate cancer and his father (my grandfather) died of the disease before I was born.

Despite the well-documented challenges, this was an excellent tour with a significant sum raised for the charity.  It was also announced at the end that it would be the last multi-day GBRf Charity Railtours escapade in this format for understandable personal reasons impacting the key organisers.
