142038 on 2C80 18:45 Morecambe to Lancaster.
Same pair also noted on 2Y15 17.15 Lancaster to Leeds via Morecambe and Bare Lane then single track to Hest Bank. NB The new summer timetable on RTT has no services shown running on this route so there are only five more Sundays (excludes Easter due to Engineering work Leeds to Lancaster) to travel over this section of track.142088 & 142094 on 2Y11 12:15 Lancaster to Leeds via Morecambe.

Thanks for that mate, I didn’t realise that the north curve from Bare Lane was not going to be used for passenger services when the summer timetable starts. I’ve done it hundreds of times since I moved to Morecambe in 2008 mostly to go to Carnforth to go to the snug micropub on the station. I’ve only done it once in the other direction and that was on a rail tour.
If there is going to be no more passenger services on the north curve at Hest Bank, has there been a formal closure process being as the present Lancaster - Leeds via Morecambe are the only passenger trains to use that section of track?
Back in the mid 1990s, there were plans to scrap the Fort William sleeper train, but was saved as that was the only passenger train that used certain sections of track.
If he was so good at being Sec. of State for Transport (as he makes out), why didn't he order them to be withdrawn and be replaced with 172's like the original plan back then?Andrew Adonis has just seen one, seemingly for the first time
