220010 works diverted 1M51 0725 Plymouth to Carlisle approaching Shotlock Hill Tunnel. The side of the cutting here as been regraded with additional drainage and stone filled gabions at the base, all to prevent slippage.
The unit is swallowed up by the 106 yard long tunnel.
The highlight of the day had to be this, noise from the portal alerted me to something approaching. 43013, with 43014, exits Shotlock Hill Tunnel with an unknown working of Network Rail's New Measurement Train.
