    I travelled up to Hellifield again today Wednesday 6th August, this time to see 61306 Mayflower with 'The Fellsman'
    The charter looked to be running on time then looked like a problem at Clitheroe, which saw a 20 min late departure meaning the train
    could not get into Hellifield in time for its path to Carlise, it arrived now 30 minutes late into Hellifield and had then to wait another 20 minutes to get a path northwards,
    it eventually left about 50 minutes late
    Seen here waiting at Hellifield

    They do a excellent breakfast at the 24H Cafe

    Earlier arriving at the platform and stopping short of the signals at the platform end which was very nice for the members of the public on that platform
