JL - 16420 158901 1049 Leeds - Carlisle Ribblehead

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. I headed down to Ribblehead today to take my daily exercise as I knew that Royal Scotsman liveried 66746 was on the lunchtime Arcow working. Before the stone came south from Blea Moor loop 158901 worked empty north with 10.49 Leeds - Carlisle.
