Friday 29th April 2016. Whilst 44871 ran light engine to Edinburgh, the train was hauled from Grange-over-Sands to Edinburgh via Whitehaven, Carlisle and Beattock by ex-LMS ‘Jubilee’ Class 4-6-0 45699 ‘Galatea’, again with diesel on the rear. Due to some earlier delays, the train had to be hurried up the 1 in 75 bank from Beattock to prevent delays on the busy London to Glasgow mainline, here close to the summit at Harthope.
