    Sir Nigel flying up Shap, seen near where the old Scout Green Signal Box once stood and a little further up and thanks to Ralph for the update.

    Despite the overcast and chilly conditions LNER A4 class No. 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley makes a fine sight and sound as it works the northbound 'Cumbrian Mountaineer' through Greenholme on the climb to Shap and onwards to Carlisle

    With the light quickly fading, LNER A4 class No. 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' speeds the return 'Cumbrian Mountaineer' away from Tebay back to Crewe and later to London Euston

    Sir Nigel heads for home, running through a windy Lune Gorge.
