    I assume the same sort of setup like the SRPS tours over the G+SW in the early nineties. The Diesel would pilot to Annan before detaching to let steam take over. Steam wasn't allowed on its own under the wires between Carlisle and Gretna Junction back then. Whereabouts at the border will the detaching take place tomorrow with it going straight up the mainline?

    My mistake I thought it would get a Diesel pilot on the front until Scotland. Left Carlisle on time with a shove from the back until they get to Scotland.
