On Sunday 12th April 2009 around 12 noon the 'Great Britain ll' charter with around 500 passengers arrived from Inverness and took on water. |
|
The train formation of 12 coaches had been on a U.K. tour for a week and had been hauled by a variety of engines Diesel, Electric, and Steam |
|
Cost for the week including all meals was around £2000 per person. After the engines had been watered the train left at 1250 for Aberdeen. |
|
A large crowd enjoyed being up close to the Steam Engines and a golden opportunity for some brilliant pictures. |
