Mr. Blue Sky
With blue skies and sunshine for the occasion, it is almost a quarter of a century since the last last mainline runs of Peppercorn A2 'Blue Peter'.
60532 looks in fine form as it heads north from Penrith with "The Lakelander" railtour. A matching set of carmine and cream stock rather helped with the early British Railways image.
The train would return south via the Cumbrian Coast route later the same day,
5th April 2025.
