    It was only a suggestion... & That's the red bit I was getting at to be honest... If it's red and on the mainline then it would be either 5972 or 5690? 5972 moved back to Carnforth last Monday & I don't see why 5690 would be near Skipton?

    Was it just a locomotive, or was it pulling a train?
