Diverted LOCO HAULED service on the Settle & Carlisle Railway

Описание: The Clifton Bridge replacement project over the M6 near Penrith & the closure of the West Coast mainline means diverted trains via the Settle & Carlisle railway by Avanti Class 805 Evero Bi-modes this January. Here's how diverted S&C trains looked like in February 2000 when loco hauled by Class 47 locomotives & Mark 2/3 coaches with opening droplight windows. Back then it was standard practice to use the S&C when the West Coast Main Line was closed for engineering work. No need for passengers to have to change trains at Carlisle & Preston onto a shuttle as is the case in January 2026 or even worse change onto a bus/coach as has been the case for the last 10 years, these were genuine through trains linking our major cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham & London.
