- Weather CHAOS & Loco Variety at Carlisle.
Class 56!
Class 37s!
Floods cause cancellations
10 January 2023
It was a wet dark day with a fair bit of wind too in Carlisle.
The day was really in two halves -
In the morning there was a good amount of loco action with ROG 37s passing through and a Class 56 working aggregates from Ravenstruther, near Carstairs, to Longport. Class 70s were also around on three different services.
Freightliner blessed us with a pair of 90s in tangerine livery as well as a 66 on the regualr Tyne Yard departmental run.
GBRf is still using 66 Cambridge PSB on the Hams HAll containers
DB Cargo showed its presence on their regular Departmental train to Basford Hall and on the fairly frequent containers from Seaforth Dock.
The ever present DRS entertained us with 66s and 88s on the tesco trains and light engine. A convoy of four 68s went to Sellafield but unfortunately went down Platform 1 as I was walking up Platform 3 to get a closer look at the 90s!
In the afternoon the levels of rain had brought speed restrictions over Beattock, between Carstairs and Lockerbie. Network Rail are right to be cautious after the recent embankment slip. Then not one but both lines south - the WCML and then the Settle & Carlisle were blocked by flooding. The WCML recovered within an hour but by then Avanti had split their timetable, as usual to keep services south of there near to schedule with reduced services north. Not sure what Trans Pennine were up to, other than terminating services at Carlisle.
Overall a very Interesting day!

Keeps you watching another great video Les thanks.
You’ve used the awful cold and rain to best advantage with reflections. I particularly liked the close-up snaking empty wagons freight leaving station. Splendid, dedicated work, Les🚂
Great captures there Les, thanks for sharing. Ben.
Your videos and information are the best on UTube Les.
Thanks Les 👍
Thank You Leslie for standing on the platforms in this weather conditions sending us such nice pictures, Warm greetings from Germany!
That was excellent Les... I liked seeing the "Chirk "train and the "Royal Mail" train..
great freight action. thanks
Cracking stuff Les. I was 14 yrs. old when the EE. type 3's came into service and took over some of the fish trains after I had started work on Grimsby fish market in late 1962. Amazing to find they are still at work when I am well into my 70's.!
Les, please keep a bottle of SPF30+ in your backpack. One day, the sun's gonna shine on Carlisle and I wouldn't want you to get burnt. (Great comments as always, Les. Well done).
Great video and variety Les. Its good to watch the chaos as long as you aren't caught up in it. Looking forward to getting to Carlisle again soon.
Some splendid footage again Les, way too cold for my liking though,so thank you for being out there getting the locos for us. You do get some good freight coming through Carlisle
Chaos is the right word! good to see a 'proper' Grid down here we are stuck with the Class 69 'body snatchers'!
My son didn't move during this one!!! Nice, brother!✌️
Loving that Class 56 erupting from a standstill on a decent load
Thanks for braving the elements, Les. Enjoyed the sound of the 56!! Good on ya!!
very good
Great as usual. The "Grid" winding up to get her train away was epic!
another great vid with some fantastic shots i especially liked the going away shot with the doubleheaded 90s and the Colas 56 straining every sinew to lift its heavy train away from the station! thanks again Les.
Not surprised there were issues on the S&C, Newby Head approx 1 mile NE of Ribblehead, recorded over 10" of rain in the week this was filmed. Thanks for braving the elements to bring it to us.
