First time in a few months
For the first time in about 3 months, the Torness Flasks have run via Beattock and Millerhill. This was partly due to the sink hole appearing at Niddrie West Junction earlier in the year.
On a lovely sunny morning at Inveresk on the 31st August 2018 we see a pair of Class 88's working the Flask train. 88009 leads 88006 on 6S43, 0622 Kingmoor - Torness, with both working in electric mode. When it leaves Torness in the afternoon it will continue down the ECML to Newcastle and across the Tyne Valley line.
Seen here at 0920 and will be put in the loop at Drem for the 0930 to London Kings Cross, 1E09, to pass
