    One of the problems is so I've been told is that a TOC can claim compensation for delays caused by a special but not the other way round. To be honest specials were subject to the same sort of nonsense even in BR days. More than once I've been on a run that's sat waiting for a delayed all stations stopper to be sent in front of it.

    Is it usual for Cathex to go via Gascoine Wood Junc.? Is it a pathing diversion to free up the ECML? Lovely shot, near Hambleton?

    I assume it must be something to do with freeing the ECML, I can't think of any other reason, it's certainly not scenic.
    The shot was taken just after leaving the ECML HERE, you can see the overheads in the background, and thanks by the way.
