Golborne Dale, LSL 90002 'Wolf of Badenoch', 87002 'Royal Sovereign' & 86101 'Sir William. A. Stanier FRS' 0Z70 (0Z98) (06.00 Carlisle - Preston - Crewe Signal Ce551) 17/12/22.
The LSL 'Ice Breaker trains' ran again today (Saturday) but not without incident. Both northbound and southbound trains are booked to meet at Wigan NW for a crew swap (07.41 - 07.48) but the southbound left Carlisle 49L and then came to a halt at Grayrigg. I believe 90001 + 86101 had technical issues and later a deer was struck around the Low Gill area.
The Northbound working had no such issues and upon arrival was returned from Carlisle to Grayrigg where all four locos worked to Preston. 90001 then returned to Carlisle and 90002 + 87002 & 86101 worked back to Crewe and in very poor light I managed to record them on the canted curve at Golborne Dale 266L.
