Leaking steam. A BR Standard Class 7MT Britannia 4-6-2 No. 70014 Iron Duke approaches Birkett Tunnel south of Kirkby Stephen with a southbound football special on 5th February 1967. The train of newly painted blue and white MK Coaches looks slightly garish among the Pennine Fells while the Brit seems to have lost its original nameplate replaced by a painted version.
