5M50: 61306: Armistead Bdg, Giggleswick bank: 24/01/19
Having failed to tick all the performance boxes on its load test in Dec 2018, Ex LNER B1 4-6-0: 61306 Mayflower returned to the Carnforth circuit today to demonstrate all the necessary performance requirements.
With much of the Carnforth to Settle Junc line blanketed in low lying cloud and freezing mist finding a view in excess of 50 metres was difficult- however close to Giggleswick summit on the eastbound accent, Armistead bridge affords a view of the loco working hard, with WCRC 37669 attached at the rear.
