The GWR Saint and LMS Jubilee double head a nine coach set up the bank and into Primrose tunnel. The tunnel has a sharp curve to the right through its length and the gradient continues all the way through and out the other side, making for some skillful driving to get the train through without slipping to a stand
Due to the steep and long grades on the SMR, these two engines are always double headed on public days either with themselves (or in event of a mechanical failure of one ) with the Warship Diesel or Green 751
