    No. 9 is the obvious one. Looks like a few gentle running-in trips on a relatively quiet route between service trains, just to make sure the new bearings are doing their jobs properly before sending her over Shap. Very sensible.

    I would think that given 8A posted and his lad is a renowned engineer / fireman now at Crewe he would be well placed to either confirm or deny ......?

    That was going to be my next question. What views do the Crewe supporters cams (2 and 4) show?

    Camera 2 is looking south into the station with the Manchester line coming in from the left, camera 4 is looking north with the WCML in the picture and has the avoider line in shot as well. So together the cover all movements out of the north end of the station.
