JL - 11.1.24 56049 & 56098 6J37 Carlisle - Chirk, Long Marton

With the attractive paring of Colas 56049 'Robin of Templecombe' and GBRf hire in 56098 continuing on the logs this week I escaped the desk for another go this lunchtime. Seen thundering through Long Marton, 6J37 is running in its usual path behind the 13:36 ex-Carlisle service train. 098 had been leading the pair earlier in the week but apparently a cab heater problem has meant a switch of lead loco. I think I might prefer them in this order.
