STEAM enthusiasts will have the chance to see a record-holding locomotive as it passes through North Wales this week. 

60007 Sir Nigel Gresley will be travelling along the North Wales Mainline on Wednesday (September 18) on its trip from Holyhead to Cardiff.

The steam locomotive was built to a design of Sir Nigel Gresley in 1937 at Doncaster Works for operation on the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).
