    Does anyone know the reason for 86259 Les Ross travelling from Carnforth D&U GL to Oxenholme before crossing over and heading south to Preston yesterday.

    Couple of shots of Tangmere at Carlisle yesterday. She was definitely looking a little 'work worn' with even some rust around the cab roof - bit of change from the exhibition standard of many mainline locos!

    The growth between the tracks makes Carlisle Citadel look almost pastoral. It'll be getting an SSSI designation before long.

    Having spent the last few weeks toad patrolling around our local lake I didn't think to check the station, but I doubt Network Rail would be too happy if we turned up a Great Crested Newt - or perhaps someone already has at Citadel station?! ;):)
