@ralph5407 Well it'll remain a mystery. Certainly not a new thing. Forty or fifty years ago same story struggling on that line out of the station there. Maybe there was a bad accident (1960-ish) with an express crossing over onto the nearside track and for steam engines the restriction remains. Think there used to be a signal box on the left and sidings track running off to the left where the new buildings are today. Someone will tell us in due course, surely?

@hildibildibaldi I don't think the presence of the hospital is any reason to slow down, Pendos go through there a lot quicker that we did.

Most enjoyable video, well captured , with a steady hand.

Slowing down at Preston acause of the hospital on the hill to the left as you come out of the station, yes? Something like that I seem to recall. Not that I was ever on this line more than a couple of times and that was more years ago than I want to think about (!)

I can't wait for this ladies return next year. She was sorely needed in Crewe this summer.

@Mikelandscaper 6201 is doing her share, I'm on my way back to York at the moment on the Scarborough Flyer with 6201 in charge, she's going well.

@ralph5407 6201 has been doing the best of all UK Mainline steamers this year!
I think she and 6233 made for a great "pairing" last summer. I think 6233 would have filled 5305 shoes perfectly. 5305 is not the type of locomotive that One would think pulling the Cumbrian. Engines like the LMS 6200's and BR 70000's handle this territory much better. I would also say the same for 46115. Thats just my opinion for what it was worth.

@Mikelandscaper Whilst 5305 is a good performer she does have the load limitations and usually takes 10 coaches whereas the pacifics take 12 with ease.

That is one magnificent machine-just hope one day 46235 will emerge from that fishtank in Birmingham and have another crack at Shap.

@TAMWORTHFAN Thanks very much, regarding 46235, I believe the chances of her ever getting out are very remote. We just have to be thankful that PRLCT are able to keep 6233 alive and running.
