At the back of Carlisle Citadel station are three Virgin West Coast Thunderbird locos, 57313, 57311 and 57304.
The trip back to Manchester from Carlisle went via the Settle and Carlisle route. GBRf 66711 waits at the exit signal at Kirkby Thore with 4E16 1717 Newbiggin to Doncaster empty gypsum containers.
The usual water stop is taken at Appleby and Jules and Fraser sit on Lindsay's seat with Marilyn behind us. Lindsay once said "Appleby needs a seat for support crews to rest their weary arses". So after he died we had one installed.
