Britannia Runs Hot!
The Lakelander,
S&C Steam Special,
Jacobite Loco and stock move:
Carlisle
13 April 24

The gales were blowing again across the station for three steam trains through the Citadel Station plus other trains!

Britannia arrived from Leicester a little late after a slower than planned run from Grayrigg Down loop. I didnt see all the checks going on when she arrived (as you'll see I went for a different view of the loco) but Britannia had been running hot and was to be removed from the train.

I didnt see Tangmere arrive too busy photographing the 7P but caught it being taken to Upperby.

When the Lakelander stock headed for Upperby it was realised both trains couldnt fit into the loop with Tangmere taking water. The Lakelander stock was brought back into the station to await The S&C Steam Special going onto the N&C line to turn.

Then the third steam of the day when 45212 and a CDL fitted set of coaches were hauled through, with a brief stop in the station. Heading to Crianlarich before heading on the Sunday to Fort William for Jacobite duties remuming on the Monday.

The Lakelander headed out to Upperby again to drop off Britannia.

Meanwhile Tangmere had a very steamy start through the gales, returning its train to Liverpool.

Finally 47805 headed off with the Lakelander for the S&C and Leicester.
