    Cooler day than of late with intermittent sun, Leander with 11 on made a pretty picture as she worked up to Chapel Lane at Hoghton.

    Good spot. Not sure, times match at Carlisle. Running headcode 0Z99, 0 meaning light loco, Z meaning short term working and 99 usually reserved for a rescue loco.

    This is complete speculation, but the only reason I can think of is somthing pushing to negate the need for taking on water at Appleby?

    Well, I'm sure I saw a lineside fire at Selside, but I can't 100% confirm that's what it was. I know it was a bit of grunt from the Jube passing Helwith Bridge, but loco seemed fine.

    Can you clarify which locomotive has failed, 45690 or the 47 mentioned passing Penrith.

    There was a farmer spreading lime (or something like it) on a field opposite Salt Lake Cottages. The wind was carrying the dust some distance - maybe that is what you saw? I thought it was a fire too when I first saw it. All academic now anyway.

    She sounded well there, but she just looked a touch of it's usual pace IMO.
