Mark, who was known to his many friends as Mambo, was a great lover of the Class 47. His interest in railways started in the early 1980s when he would venture to Tring station to the pursue his hobby. Over the coming years he travelled the length and breadth of the country and developed a real passion for the Brush Type 4 – making many lifelong friends along the way.

Mark was an accomplished photographer and had an eye for detail. He later joined the railway as a driver and later Driver Manager for Chiltern Railways and was highly respected by his colleagues. He also worked closely with Locomotive Services Ltd.

It is highly appropriate that the tour originates at Crewe, the spiritual home of the Class 47 with it also passing through their original birthplace at Loughborough. It then ventures onto Chiltern metals and to Aylesbury where Mark lived and worked.

Our first ‘Lakelander’ tour of 2025 running this Saturday will be hauled by the magnificent ‘Blue Peter’ Locomotive. Blue Peter will meet the train in Preston at around 10:00am and take our passengers to the historic border city of Carlisle for a lunchtime sightseeing break. Our return journey takes the scenic coastal route around the Cumbrian Coast running along the shoreline through Workington with spectacular cliff edge views.

We are aware that this particular engine may attract a fair amount of interest so while we encourage you to go out and view our steam locomotives, please remember when out and about do not access the rail network and always stand in a safe place. Stand back on platforms and do not lean off platforms or off any lineside equipment.

Trespassing on the railway is an offence and can cause serious injury. Please act responsibly.
