    Cheddington this morning. Not much exhaust from either loco but probably just as well given the stiff westerly breeze at the time.

    To be quite clear the GN/LNE way of working was one train one engine. In terms of dealing with the train 45212 was totally unnecessary, and could be said to be getting in the way being restricted to 60mph, but it had to be worked back home to meet other commitments.

    Nice shot Shep . From what I’ve seen today I’m glad I gave it a miss with no decent exhaust on any videos so far :)

    It was quite windy today so maybe lack of exhaust was no bad thing

    Agreed. Quite a stiff westerly breeze at Cheddington and a decent exhaust would almost certainly have blown down.

    Presumably FS moving to York ready for the Scarborough Flyer.
    So, we may have to wait and see what might bring The Lakes back to London.

    Hmm, the dates on that RTT link span the Scarborough Spa season. Is that not a path to get something between Carnforth and York for the Spa's if needed?

    Interestingly there is a path out of Victoria to Southall for the ECS, but no LE move in from Southall shown so it may a a diesel on the back.
    Of course if 45699 does bring it down I guess it will need to go back to Carnforth on Friday for the CME Saturday if 45690 is still out for repair.
