    The Train Manager arranged a raffle on board the train for this young mans family, which at the last count on arrival in Carlisle had raised £1500 plus, and he thanked the generosity of the passengers. Well-done fellow passengers.

    The 1st and 2nd prizes were donated, as far as I can remember, by West Coast Railway – for four premier seats on either the Dalesman or Scarborough trains, and the East Lancs Railway, for a similar prize, or on one of their dining trains, or a day’s footplate driving experience.

    As the tickets were being drawn on the return leg of the journey, and I had to return by an earlier Virgin train, I gave my tickets to a fellow passenger sitting next to me – so I hope he won!

    A couple of photos of the locomotives at Appleby, in immaculate condition, with the wreath and headboard on 44871.

    The only thing I can say with certainty is that drivers were Mr Blair on 44971 and Ian Riley on 45407, obviously with a second man. Stephen Shields was guard.
