    I might be biased but MNs are fine looking locomotives and BIL is a fine looking locomotive.

    Looks like they are still there as no sign of movement on RTT, and nothing else is going that way either, a few have been diverted via Dumfries, the rest cancelled.

    34052/34046 is out and about today. I've just driven from Wrexham to Chester along the A483 and she passed over the bridge over the road at around 10:45 heading for Wrexham. She's pulling a rake of Crimson and Cream Mk1s with a BR green Class 47 on the back.

    Thats all i know!

    Agreed @jsm8b ... I wish i'd known about this one.... looked like she was having a pretty good go at Gresford Bank - probably 35mph-ish over the bridge on a wet rail.

    Yes... the winter is back!!
