    A couple of points that I forgot to mention yesterday. Thanks to the driver of the 37 for the hoot on the horn to acknowledge my wave, as 45212 went past I got a wave from someone who I didn't recognise on the footplate (any names, please), I did spot that Steve Chipperfield was driving the black 5.

    If I am right in thinking 5239 is another MK2 with opening windows which wasn’t previously CDL fitted, but is now?

    Now in the loop at Harrisons Sidings. Nearest service is 20 minutes behind and it's only 10 minutes away from Penrith. Doesn't sound promising.

    I have read on Facebook that apparently the loco has failed with a hotbox again. How accurate that is I don't know but I have heard it from a few differnt people.
