  • 56078 rolls over Union Mills Viaduct Batley with the 1Z57 York to York (via Hebden Bridge, Manchester & Diggle) "mini-tour" section of the hastily arranged Pathfinder Tours "Twilight of the Grids" on Wednesday 31st March 2004
  • By now running over an hour early due to the woefully slack timings provided, 56078 under the control of driver Steve Titheridge is seen passing Heaton Lodge West Jcn with the 1Z57 Twilight of the Grids "mini-tour" on 31st March 2004. We only made the shot with seconds to spare!
  • After the mini-tour arrived back at York it was made to stand in Holgate Sidings for well over an hour awaiting the allotted platform slot. The train was delayed by over an hour as there was a fault with the multiple working connection and was only able to proceed after Driver Titheridge volunteered to double crew 56078.<br /> <br /> Running over an hour late in rapidly diminishing light 56115+56078 pass the gallery of photographers at Burton Lane Crossing with the 1Z58 York to Bristol Temple Meads return leg of the "Twilight" tour on 31st March, 2004.
