    Seen in Lockerbie up loop at 19.15, awaiting its path behind a TPE train. Quite a surprise to see it.

    I'm not sure what you mean by a VSTP, I'm not up on the jargon, is this a Very Special Train Path. Also its not a 5Z working as I dont think theres any of them left anymore, its a K1 working.

    All I know is its midnight out of Carnforth, 2 pm in at FW with the usual water stops.
