    It was VERY impressive when I saw it in Leeds station a few moths ago, I'm hoping that Carnforth get plenty of work for it in the 2019 season, it's well bedded in now and IMO ready for anything.

    Thanks Henry! TBH I was counting on cloud, so I could get the better shot on the shore side of the footbridge, but the bloody sun came out and was so low it was shining into the lens!
