Cumbrian Mountain Express
Our
first charter for Steamy Affairs saw 50049 and 50031 hauling Riviera
Trains "Blue Stock" from Ashford to Carlisle via the ECML to
Leeds and the S&C. Back via the Tyne Valley and the ECML with some
spirited running south of York.
With Defiance leading Hood the train crosses Smardale
Viaduct.

The run
down the ECML was very lively. Ahead of time '31 and '49 wait for the
IC225 GNER to pass at Peterborough.
