    66 765 and 57 310 on 5Z77 Ribblehead to Princes Risborough ECS approaching Hellifield.

    This train started at London Victoria on Friday, and has traversed a number of lines since under headcodes from 5Z71 on. It overnighted on the KWVR on Friday and at Appleby last night.

    Described on Railadvent as a "TestRun". Anyone any idea what for?

    Despite all the problems earlier in the day with the WCML being blocked just north of Preston, Tornado passed Brock in the drizzle 86 minutes early.
