    Quite remarkable climb to Ais Gill due to 20mph TSR a couple of miles from the summit. The recovery was quite extraordinary, to clear the summit at 45mph.

    Just so. Oxenholme to Shap in 20 minutes is good. DoG did it in 19.5 but had one coach less. But let's face it, both are cracking locos and both sets of times sit with each other pretty well. Someone on board will have more detail I am sure.

    Taking water at Crewe, diesel on rear being removed (not that it did much). Lovely sprint up to 74mph near Penkridge, some nice noise from up front. [ATTACH]
