19.4.14 - 57314 1Z72 16.01 Carlisle - Cambridge, Armathwaite

The incredible run of glorious weather continued today and with plenty of traffic in Cumbria I was out and about at the lineside. The S&C was very quiet and most of the action was over on the WCML but one working that was worth attention was the railtour operating out and back over the S&C from Cambridge to Carlisle. Conditions could hardly have been any better and what views the passengers must have enjoyed from their seats. Seen at Armathwaite on the return run 1Z72 was bang on time behind WCRC 57314. In these conditions and at fantastic S&C locations even this drab livery looks pretty good.
