    You're probably right, I suspect its going to be quite the PITA to run that having to reverse at Ravenglass/Sellafield then faff at Carnforth to head north again, I hope its still possible for those dong it to hit the 24 hour target!

    Quite a bit of slack in last year's schedule - left Ravenglass (heading north) at 1930 but didn't reach Craigendoran Jn until 0047. Fort William booked arrival was 0425 - and in the end was nearly an hour late.

    BR Class 7MT No. 70000 Britannia passes through Hartford on a test run from Crewe to Carnforth on Wednesday 17th June 2026. Its train consists of a motley collection of coaches and vans with a pair of class 20s on the rear.

    Thanks both. Very nice, personally I’d have preferred 70000 as the Brits were regulars on the line, but I’m sure the paying passengers will be very happy which is what matters.
