A video that's been 2 weeks in the making for the test runs of recently overhauled ex LMS Jubilee class locomotive no, 45596 Bahamas. Our first few clips are actually of her first light engine test runs between Tyseley Steam Trust & Stratford Upon Avon, this footage was never originally released by me because I was in the midst of changing broadband providers. All broadband fixed I was all ready to get the loaded test run when the Bahamas Locomotive Society released a statement saying that the loaded test runs will be delayed due to a TPWS fault on Bahamas. The second test run was scheduled but also got delayed by the TPWS fault. THIRD TIME LUCKY on the 31st of January 2019 and this time Bahamas was allowed out on the mainline again starting with another test run between Tyseley & Stratford Upon Avon. Later in the day she was out again for the loaded test run again starting from Tyseley and running to Leicester Humberstone Road then back to Tyseley via Burton on Trent. Our shots are filmed at Spring Road, Stratford Upon Avon, Stratford Upon Avon Parkway then onto Whitlock's End where she is stopped to let a stopping service go first for the light test. Then on the loaded test she is seen at Hinckley where several people came out to see her & I unfortunately have someone lean too far out in front of me as the Jubilee zooms by then finally onto Loughborough Midland station
