5Z81 1800 Tom Na Faire - Carnforth Steamtown in the system for Friday night.

Pathed at 60mph, though no obvious water stops en route, so may be diesel plus one of the Jacobite sets returning home?

D213 (40013) "Andania" passing Brock working 0Z40 1156 Crewe H.S. to Carlisle Upperby Tmd Lsl 25/09/25.

Thank you for the complement (?) I think - although I had to 'Google' your phrase as my education did not have Latin as an option. I've always been a firm believer in 'Nature abhors a vacuum'.
When I was a main line driver for a few years I would try to find the cause of any hold ups and let my passengers know [we were DOO]. Even if I was not able to find the direct cause I would use the PA to say just that but would seek an answer if possible. During countless thousands of trips I never received one complaint and, on a couple of occasions, bosses even received letters complementing me on my keeping passengers [sorry, 'they' called them "customers"] informed.
However, if you feel what I wrote about 34028 was incorrect then I will apologise of course.
If my explanation was correct - but you would prefer me not to mention details in future - please let me know.
Incidentally, my apologies to you for the delayed response.
My PC gained an unwelcome trojan hack last week which has taken time to eradicate - or, perhaps, that is too much information.
