On 28/12/11 37423 and loco hauled stock ran from Carlisle - Barrow in Furness as a trial run for the forthcoming loco hauled service due to start in 2012. The train is seen here departing Workington running as the 5Z24 Barrow - Carlisle.
I was on this very train between Whitehaven and Workington on Tuesday this week! (10th Jan).
This trial service is now running on the Cumbrian Coast line Mon to Fri at 06:15 from Carlisle arr Barrow 09:05. It started on Monday.
Afternoon it runs from Sellafield to Carlisle at 16:48, arr 18:32. (yesterday, Wed 11th Jan I saw 37409 at 15:15 ready to set off from Barrow sidings to Sellafield empty)
It was well used & my advice is ride it whilst it's there, but I think it will become permanent.

Perhaps the worst start out of Workington platform that I've ever seen.
