    If that's the case for Braunton then it may well go to Margate and 46100 perhaps come out as I think it was said the latter would only be there for a short time. Wonder whether the "queue" includes 35027. Obviously 60019's overhaul is now...

    I have a recollection of reading that once 6024 is turned out 45231 is next through the works. Logically this might be with a view to replacing the B1?

    It is a good itinerary, one that is a surprise isn't tried more regularly by WC I feel, given the locality etc. I've just assumed they've concluded it isn't likely to be a profitable offering. Likewise more involving the Little North Western route.

    Pennine Moors potentially a really good itinerary with 60532. It's reminiscent of the 2020 Cotton Mills, too.
