Carlisle Crew Conference

Day N - 1Z27 19:45 Acton Lane Reception Sidings GB Railfreight to Mossend Up Yard

 

The two drivers and the guard have a quick catch up alongside GB Railfreight Class 92, 92032 "IMechE Railway Division" as it pauses with the overnight leg of the GBRf 2021 charity railtour at Carlisle.

 

This is part of my selection of photos from the GBRf Charity Railtours 2021 "This Time it's Personal" four-day railtour, which I was on throughout. The tour was raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, a disease that one of the three main organisers has been impacted by and hence the reason for the tour and its strapline.

 

This was also quite personal for me as my Dad has battled prostate cancer and his father (my grandfather) died of the disease before I was born.

 

Despite the well-documented challenges, this was an excellent tour with a significant sum raised for the charity. It was also announced at the end that it would be the last multi-day GBRf Charity Railtours escapade in this format for understandable personal reasons impacting the key organisers.
