The remains of Whitehaven's Iron making past is evident on both sides of the Cumbrian coast line here at Redness Point on 18 May 2015. This was the first day of Northern's partnership with Direct Rail Services to create more capacity on the route and free up units for elsewhere. 37423 heads 2C34, the 14:35 Carlisle - Barrow-in-Furness with 37609 on the rear. I rarely visit this location nowadays but with reported timekeeping giving the chance of having this train held at a signal - whilst a similar northbound passed it - brought me there. It never happened of course, these things don't, but I did meet a small gallery of photters there, Paul, who had a mystical knowledge and control of the weather, and the two Tom McAtees (senior & junior).
