Carlisle! Part 1 - Bashing & Spotting in 1982

2nd June: I didn't go to Carlisle, but worth mentioning I had 40085 Sunderland - to Newcastle on 1N04
3rd June: I added a trip to Annan this day to get a couple of MacRats in the book:
46018 Sunderland - Newcastle 1N04
47421 Newcastle - Carlisle 1M04
27019 Carlisle - Annan 1S37
26035 Annan - Carlisle 1M06
47421 Carlisle - Newcastle 1S15
47463 Newcastle - Durham 1M79
47205 Durham - Newcastle 1E74
I won't list all the sightings this time, but highlights were 26041 and 83005. Just to conclude, my haulage book reveals that 1S15 produced 40s the next two days: 158 on the 4th and 015 on the 5th.
I hope the above was of interest. As I've previously noted, I watched 82s and 83s come and go on passenger without ever having any
Parts 2, 3 and 4 (with pictures!) to follow tomorrow...
