Fifteen Guinea Special : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fifteen Guinea Special
The 1T57 'Fifteen Guinea Special' was the last main-line passenger train to be hauled by steam locomotive power on British Railways on 11 August 1968 before the introduction of a steam ban that started the following day. It was a special rail tour excursion train organised for the occasion from Liverpool via Manchester to Carlisle and back, and was pulled by four different steam locomotives in turn during the four legs of the journey (with two engines sharing the third leg). == Name ==
The ''Fifteen Guinea Special'' was so named because of the high price for tickets on the railtour (15 guineas = £15 15s 0d in pre-decimal British currency) (£15.75). Ticket prices had been inflated due to the high demand to travel on the last BR steam-hauled mainline train.〔ANON (May 2008). "1968 and All That". Railway Magazine 154 1285: 18-19〕
