    Hear hear. All trains (VT, TPE etc) on time at the moment, so hopefully it will be a great run in the conditions.

    A bizarre pairing, but all rather pleasant so far, and the Lune Gorge is spectacular in the snow. Having a pint in 301 miles bar place thing.

    Today's conditions ultimately called for a steam in the landscape shot in my opinion...cue a 40 minute trudge up Tebay Fell in a foot or more of snow to get this. Footage of 61306 & 35018 racing through the snow covered Lune Gorge then a distant view of the pair passing Scout Green.

    I had wondered why it was loosing time but glad it's for a good reason and not a problem with one of the locomotives.
