Hello,

I noticed there was a scotrail train on the bridge heading north through NCL at around 17:10.

Does anyone know what this was?

Some Scotrail units work the Newcastle - Glasgow Central via Carlisle workings. Which bridge was it on?

It would of a been a class 156 going to Glasgow Central via Carlisle & Dumfries.

There are a few direct trains operated by Scotrail Stock and crewed by Scotrail staff between Glasgow & Carlisle, and Northern between Carlisle & Newcastle

There is a 17.16 Scotrail/Northern departure from Newcastle to Glasgow Central, but this goes south over the river.

Sorry I should have been clearer. It was 2x 3 car units. They were electric trains. I was thinking maybe they were from Doncaster after being refurbished?

Probably a 320 returning to Scotland after referb' at Doncaster.
