With the black five working most of the steam hauled trains on Sunday 11th July 2021 I hoped that the 8F might be rostered for the diner. So it was and Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0 48305 hauled the 13:00 up dining car express from Loughborough to Leicester North. Due to the TSR before Swithland the train passed at an even more leisurely pace than usual.
