The West Coast winter programme certainly got off to a good start on Saturday 21st January with some of the finest conditions for main line steam, with low temperatures and winter sunshine even lasting for the southbound run.
Black 5 44932 standing in for what should have been 46115 which failed its FTR on the Friday, passes Yanwath with only minutes left of the late afternoon sunshine.
Apart from Ian Rileys 2 5,s, with the Jacobite stock, it must be quite a while since we have witnessed this class of engine on a CME.
