LMS Jubilee Class 5699 Galatea repainted as 45627 Sierra Leone Peaks Express from Preston to Derby. Coming round the tight turn off the Midland Mainline and through Dore Tunnel to the Hope Valley line the locomotive found it hard to get grip on the damp track and rising gradient towards Totley Tunnel. Maybe an odd leaf on the line too. At this point it's barely going at walking pace.
