Black 5 44871 Substitutes for FAILED Tangmere
Plus two 90s
A Class 56 passes
Wet Carlisle.
13 July 24

We were surprised to find Black 5 44871 at the head of Saturday's Cumbrian Mountain Express. Tangmere had failed its Fitness to Run Exam after Thursday's run to Carlisle.

The loco carried a headboard commemorating the late Craig Potter, a young driver for the East Lancashire Railway.

Class 47 47848 brought up the rear.

A Class 56 passed through on Platform 1 I almost missed it because of the other photographers at Platform 4!

Finally a pair of Class 90s brought in 4M30, the southbound Malcolm intermodal.

It was a wet day.
Avanti was hosting some small craft stalls on the circulating areas on Platform 4 plus a small brass group hence the incidental music heard in the background.
