As has been the case since 2015, the tour has been hauled by a DRS Class 68.  

The tour has been hauled by the following locomotives:

This morning, 68001 operated the tour from Carmarthen - Carlisle, with 68016 taking over at Carlisle for the rest of the trip north. I photographed the train at the Down Passing Loop at Carstairs with 1Z22 7.05 Carmarthen - Wishaw Pathfinder 6 Nations Welsh Rugby Supporters Charter.
