    I am told this will now run Chesterfield-Barrow Hill direct, not via Sheffield.

    Makes sense to run direct. I wondered the reason it was to run the long way round through Sheffield.

    A few shots of Tornado yesterday afternoon 16/09/11 passing Clay Cross Jnct. on the way to Barrow Hill, the light was very poor but at least it stayed dry.

    The sequence of shots are from right to left.

    Did 60163 run into Barrow Hill from Chesterfield on Friday,or did it go via Sheffield, if not are they turning it Barrow Hilll [thought it was to big for the turntable]?
    I notice from the LE move on Tuesday 20/09/11 its going to Crewe via Chesterfield and not Sheffield, therefore if it did not go via Sheffield on Friday it will be tender first to Crewe.

    Thanks for that Phil, nice shot, looks as though it is facing right way, it must have gone to BH via Sheffield after all.
