JL - 14.4.20 66301 & 66557 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe, Ais Gill

With the UK on corona virus lock down, Government guidance allows us to go out for 1 hours exercise per day to prevent the spread and 'flatten the curve', and even then this has to be within a few miles radius of your home. Realistically, this limits me to a stretch of the S&C and a very short section of the WCML. With S&C freight traffic at a low point, decisions about which working to target become easy.
Today, after the Easter Bank Holiday I guessed that 6K05 could be double headed as there were many engineers workings on the WCML during the long weekend and locos may need to be re-positioned. As it turned out 66301 'Kingmoor TMD' had FHH 66557 DIT plus a short formation of assorted wagon types. Seen approaching Ais Gill summit at the classic location.
