I left Hathern as quickly as possible and headed up the M1. At Woodall Services I checked to see how the Duchess was progressing only to find that the train, 1Z34, had disappeared from railtourinfo.co.uk at Toton. The dilemma, should I risk Masborough or play it safe and go north of Pontefract? I chose the long haul and headed first to Ferrybridge only to find that the footbridge was completely closed for repairs so I continued to Burton Salmon. It still wasn't plain sailing as the sun and wind were in opposition! Eventually steam was seen in the distance and 46100 ROYAL SCOT came round the corner with 1Z40, the train originating at Llandudno Junction.
