Notes

Re-routed via Shap northbound, with 48151 coming on at Carnforth and working through to Preston on the return.
The delightfully maintained waiting shelter at Armathwaite Station is complemented by the well tended flora as 8F No.48151 passes through, heading the southbound Dalesman of Tuesday 25th June 2019. This tour had been re-routed via Shap for the outward leg with steam coming on at Carnforth and on the return working right through to Preston, rather than Hellifield.48151 at Armathwaite Station
 at , Eden District, England, UK by The Talkin Lens. The intention had been to shelter from the rain on Kirkby Stephen station but when it stopped I decided to risk Smardale.The sun even put in an appearance at the booked time but the train lost time and the light dropped back.I have used this location many times over the years,this was the first time I had it to myself !
