    With another spell of dry weather forecast I assume that the LE move from Blackburn to Crewe will need a "minder". I wonder if that makes it likely that the trip will have a diesel tucked in behind 45212(?) instead of/in addition to the usual tailgunner, thus making the change of traction at Blackburn much quicker.

    47815 failed on CME at Grayrigg. Pushed to Tebay by 57008 on the back, which will now run round and pilot to Carlisle. 115 late at Tebay and counting.

    I hope that they managed to keep the A/C running for the poor passengers.

    Seems 47815 was dumped in the siding at Tebay, leaving 57008 to go on alone to Carlisle. There's now a VSTP in the system for Tebay-Carlisle and a WCR driver at Carlisle was sent south in a taxi at lunchtime...

    The up CME just passed Hellifield 47 late, with 47 815 on the rear, so 10A's finest must have fettled the problem. Two maroon and seven blue and grey MkIIs. Anyone want to guess the stock for tomorrow's NWCE?
