    No I think it's more of a case of what will enter works next 41241 or 78022 possibly going straight in or into storage? I never thought the 5 going on loan was a great idea but maybe they don't have any intention of overhauling it themselves or maybe they do I hope it's the later personally

    It doesnt look like it will be active for the 60th anniversary of its final BR passenger turn, the 20.50 Preston - Blackpool on 3/8/68. This was the penultimate scheduled steam passenger working - and I was on it:D. What a pity.

    And here it is leaving Preston that night. I was on the very last one - to Liverpool with 45318.
