 by Tony Woof. 6024 'King Edward I' opens up after coming off the speed restriction over Ribblehead Viaduct on the 14th March 1998. This southbound run was less troubled than the northbound one the previous week, when 6024 had to stop several times for a 'blow-up'. The problem was said to be the wrong type of coal.Southbound King On The S&C.
