The Princess of Chester

Once again, I had no exact date for this visit to Chester of Princess Royal Class No. 6201 Princess Elizabeth. The train headboard code 703 helped tie it down through other internet sources to 5/6/1976. 

Andy drove us to Saltney and the four-track western approach to Chester, shared between the former GWR and LMS routes, so that we could watch her at speed. Continuing a 70s theme, it seemed that the right to roam had somehow already been granted to those going to watch steam specials.

We followed the Princess into the city and photographed her leaving on the return journey.
