    Interesting one. I wonder what's happening in Kilmarnock that weekend. Just did a quick Google and found Kilmarnock Farmers Market and a Sport Scotland event on safeguarding children in sport. Both happening in Kilmarnock that weekend. Can't think either of them would be of interest to Mr H though!

    It's also Monday-Tuesday that it's running, and there's not much chance of doing anything in Kilmarnock between 22.15 and 07.15 the following morning!

    Some interesting ECS moves also involved. Set runs to Carlisle after arrival at Hellifield. Looks like it's electric loco to Crewe, steam to Hellifield (ECS to Carlisle), DMU Hellifield to Carlisle. Diesel Carlisle to Kilmarnock. Tuesday sees diesel Kilmarnock to Carlisle for electric back to Euston. Diesel then goes to Upperby before heading back to Crewe with the steam loco.

    So a train from Euston to Kilmarnock which possibly includes a Pacer over the S&C, they sure know how to have a good time don't they...

    I'm guessing it's going to be the bubble car for that leg, as it heads to Upperby afterwards. There are three workings into Upperby over the two days but only one back to Crewe, which I assume will be steam + diesel + bubble car.
