@CGiordano464 Hi Charlie, sorry I have only just noticed your question. To answer: no, it was the other way round, they were taking Number 87 from the Ffestiniog over to the Welsh Highland using the CTRL (Cross Town Rail Link). As an update: 87 is now dark blue (no longer grey), and the Welsh Highland link to the Ffestiniog at Harbour Station in Porthmadog is now commissioned and in use: the first public through trains start in mid February.

Noted Roger. When I worked in the industry the rule was to wear hi-vis when on or near the line, whether in a red or green zone. We could only avoid this if using a public level crossing as a pedestrian.

Two persons clearly visible on NR infrastructure who were not wearing hi vis clothing. Were they trespassers? Look like father/son.
