    I'm not on it, but might have to consider it one day since the route is now regularly via Barrow. Ticked off the Park cut-off back in 2014, but it has since become a rarity. I seem to recall the cut-off is now shut on weekends.

    Normally opened by a MOM on planning request. Saves time, but its a difficult run for UP trains.

    Presumably because of loading gauge restrictions for the Big Boy.

    Ask yourself about the distinction between "up" trains and "UP" trains.

    Perhaps it was a bit subtle for some.

    Amusing, but slightly off topic.

    But I'm glad some got it! It arose because when I saw the post referring to UP trains I immediately read that as Union Pacific - I've been modelling the UP for the past 10 years or so following some USA charter trips. I love the Challenger, 844 and Big Boy.

    But we can have a little humo(u)r sometimes, even if it's a bit off-topic, can't we?

    10 metre high tide and 60mph winds have caused damage to a bridge between Parton and Whitehaven - local rag stating that both lines are closed but NR hope to have the repairs done by the end of today.
