JL - 16.4.20 66301 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. I had another ride down to Ais Gill today to see 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe engineers. It's been fairly unreliable lately, only having a load around 50% of the time in recent weeks. Today however 66301 'Kingmoor TMD' which was in charge all week leads a nice rake of loaded wagons south in cold but bright April conditions.
