@tpe18509 thanks mate yes it is a very rare event - so happened that 91 needed to go for maintenance so rather than send it light engine north East Coast used it to drag the failed set north for repair as well - excellent piece of lateral thinking and use of resources

@trainspotter11 thanks very much mate, no royal train on there but trains around the 1:47 timing point are a Grand Central livery HST running south followed by the returning UK Railtours top and tailed with 67006 Royal Sovereign and 67005 Queens Messenger - these 67s are allocated to the Royal train when it runs

Good selection of trains and good location without to much OHLE clutter AND overboard protection on the footbridge.
