    Times on RTT now. 0528 from Leeds, three extra minutes in bed! Looks like T and T Leeds to Preston judging by the ECS move.

    45231 confirmed on the LSG Facebook page. Additionally, the loco appears to be carrying a microphone by the chimney, with a pole supporting it in front of the Smokebox. Unsure if this will be on for the run, but thought best to inform the photographers amongst us!
    I'm afraid I'm unable to attach said image, is anyone else able too?

    The mics are possibly for the audio recording for Train Sim World, a train simulator. That's my guess.
