Arrived in Carlisle around 4.30..was supposed to leave at 5pm but as it hadnt come back from a water pick up and my car parking had ran out I left. Nice sight though when it came in

I was on a Voyager from Edinburgh to Birmingham, we overtook Bittern looped around Lockerbie area at 1555. It was a fine, and for me unexpected, sight.

As did 5043 at Shap on Saturday - anyone bet against a steam ban?
