Thank you for downloading the Golden Age Developments 70022 Scenario Pack
=============== PACK CONTENTS ===============

This pack contains 6 scenarios for the Riviera in the Fifties Route:
It depicts the working life of BR 7MT №70022,
when it was allocated to Newton Abbot between 1951 and 1956.

=============== HISTORY ===============

70022 was the second of the four Britannia Pacifics to have worked from Plymouth Laira depot (83D),
Only eight months were spent there before transfer to Newton Abbot Shed (83A) for a period of over four years until joining the other Western Region Britannias at Cardiff Canton (86C) at the very end of 1956.
In September 1961 all of the 12 Britannias at Cardiff were removed from the Western Region and 70022 was one of those moving on to Carlisle Kingmoor (12A).
Following on from the Western Region service many Britannias were moved hither and thither;
70022, in quick succession, was seen to move to Longsight MPD (9A); Aston (21D); Rugby depot (2A); back to Aston in Birmingham,
only to return to Carlisle Kingmoor (12A) in October 1964. Even then the Britannia only stayed six weeks before transfer to Carlisle Upperby Depot (12B) ensued,
staying for slightly over two years before returning to 12A to see out its last year of revenue earning service.

The recorded mileages for 70022 Tornado were far and away lower than any Britannia on the Great Eastern section, or the London Midland Region for that matter.
That said the mileage figures are quite similar to that of 70024 Vulcan which had a like for like shed allocation and shows that the location of Plymouth did result in lower usage.
Highest figure was 55,300 miles for 1958, dropping to a low of 25,750 in the following year; a figure adversely affected by entry to Swindon Works for General Overhaul which could last 3 to 5 months.
A recorded mileage of 37,400 was returned for 1953 and very much the same for the two consecutive years. In general the locomotive was maintained by Crewe (6 visits) and Swindon (4 visits),
but it is also recorded as entering Newton Abbot Works for a Light Casual schedule in June 1956, which was a rare occurrence to say the least. 
Probably the only titled-trains available to 70022, working from Plymouth Laira, would have been the 'Cornish Riviera Express', 'Devonian' and also 'Cornishman' which ran between Wolverhampton and Penzance, 
but was not initiated until June 1952. Also the Britannia would have been well used on the so-called North West route running as far as Shrewsbury with Plymouth to Liverpool or to Manchester expresses.
After relocation to Cardiff Canton, the locomotive could be found on 'The Red Dragon', 'The Capitals United Express', 
or any of the other South Wales expresses and to the extreme credit of all the staff at Canton,
the excellent condition of 70022 and the other Britannias for the London turns, was well noted by all observers.
But that was in stark contrast to the general condition of the engine as noted during the latter days of service at Cardiff and thereafter.
Tornado was one of four Britannias to be (unusually) shedded at Rugby depot (2A); the others being 70017 Arrow, 70023 Venus and 70024 Vulcan.
These were to replace four Jubilee class engines and were on Station pilot duties and acting as standby for the mainline services which were diesel-hauled at that time;
the active period was from October 1962 until February 1963, after which time the four engines returned to Aston depot (21D) in Birmingham. In 1964,
70022 Tornado was seen at Crewe in a parlous state, having suffered an axle shift resulting in broken coupling rods; a shocking mishap which was not only confined to new engines in 1951.
