Trains 5 and 6 were 1U01 as far as Grange-over-Sands so I could see 4C16, then 2T54 to Lancaster, once again with 156461. This has been a proper trek, and it hasn't ended yet!

In a rare sense of sanity, my traction for the next leg of my journey is #northern 170476 on 2C23. I've never done the Harrogate Loop in the Leeds direction past Horsforth- so let's fix that! Oh, and the aircon is appreciated! #NorthernExplorer #SteelCityDoggoPhotography

Train No.3 sees me head onto the Cumbrian Coast, a line I haven't travelled in 4 years, nevermind start attacking it in its entirety.

First train of today is 1N01 from Sheffield to Leeds. A classic Yorkshire Flyer leap from me now... Can you tell I like this service?
158791 was my chariot. I do believe they've nicked it to form a Morecambe, as 1N04 is cancelled!
