First passenger working of a Cat 68 up the Lickey.

Saturday, 06th December, 2014

With the new class 68 locomotives coming into passenger service 68014 became the first member of the class to work up the famous Lickey Incline, which is handled with no problem what so ever.


		68014 completely ignores the 1-in-37.7 gradient of the Lickey Incline as it powers, with ease, The Yuletide Yorkshire Explorer headed for Leeds.
