    National Rail are reporting of an hour's delay due to a broken down service train betwwen Barrow-in-Furness an Carlisle. Does anyone one where the broken drown train is, and whether it will affect today's Lakelander from Park South to Ravenglass/Sellafield?

    Just a snippet of info from Carnforth, 6201 is taking water and the Lakelander tour is standing next to it with the 8f about to back on so there may be some photos about later on with the pair stood side by side from those who are at the south end of Carnforth platform.

    Thanks Andrew for the right info and sorry about the 8F bit at post 2 above, the info was from someone on the CME who only saw the loco from the rear at a distance as it was backing towards the stock.

    Very unlikely - reported on the SSE as returning to base for some TLC before anything more serious develops - a sensible strategy - as you would expect from 10A!

    48151 again in full dull throughout. Sounded good though, and put in a good performance on the "down" journey at least.

    Very nice Phil. I was down by the estuary at Arnside. The sun appeared by the time I got back to the car!

    48151 Gauge O Guild passes Whitriggs Bridge, south of Seascale, with the ECS of the Lakelander, heading for Ravenglass, with the chimneys of Sellafield on the horizon.

    48151 Gauge O Guild steams south from Ravenglass across Eskmeals Viaduct, the River Esk at high tide below, with The Lakelander, returning to Carnforth and Wolverhampton. Scafell, England's second-highest peak, at 3162 feet, is visible in the background to the left.

    Evidently everyone was so excited about today's Lakelander that there was no discussion of it...

    For the record - 48151, load 11, sold out. AGAIN.

    That's yer lot.

    A yacht sits beached in the River Mite estuary at Ravenglass as 48151 approaches with the ECS from Sellafield of The Lakelander.

    48151 Gauge O Guild crosses Ravenglass viaduct, with the River Mite at low tide, arriving with the returning Lakelander charter to Northampton.

    48151 departs Ravenglass, passing River Esk - almost her ancestor!
