4464 bittern "Tyne Tees Streak"

At last the Tyne Tees Streak makes it to newcastle after two cancellations.  The morning started with a gale and with speed restricted to 50 mph she was nearly two hours late , but the weather broke and the sun came out for her arrival, then started to snow as she left for Heaton shed, hows that for lucky.
