    Thanks Peter. Was the stop made at Langwathby Station (as opposed to somewhere nearby - think Greenlands just south of Langwathby has been used before)?

    The CME on Saturday currently has times in RTT to stop at Langwathby southbound.

    The 8f stopped short of the platform a few years back Ian to take water so I assume that’s Greenland’s .

    Greenlands is the overbridge where the road between Langwathby and Culgaith crosses over the line. There's a gated Network Rail yard there.

    Nice pic.

    Btw if Alastair Meanley was on the shovel that rather flies in the face of the rumours beloved by many on here that relations between WCRC and VT are fraught?
