JL - 6.10.10 158815 08.49 Leeds - Carlisle, Ribblehead

On a day when the S&C timetable was in tatters 158815 heads away from Ribblehead towards the viaduct with the 08.49 Leeds - Carlisle, which due to the stranded northbound gypsum working, was the first northbound working of the day. To rescue the gypsum, the GBRf loco from the inbound Arcow diagram left its hoppers at Hellifield and ran light engine to the stricken DBS gypsum working. It hauled the gypsum to Blea Moor and returned to Hellifield to continue its journey to Arcow. The gypsum later returned loaded from Blea Moor and DBS tried again a day later.
