A day late in publishing following a series of problems with my - expensive - editing software.
English Electric Type 4 - later BR class 40 - D213 Andania (named after a location in Mesopotamia and a Cunard liner using that name) drew extraordinary crowds to Carlisle Citadel on a generally pleasant Saturday, the exuberant younger element being more interested in the diesel than the steam..
The 40 was hauling a two-day Crewe to Inverness trip whilst Oliver Bulleid's Battle of Britain class light Pacific was in charge of the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express from Bristol Temple Meads, steam-hauled from Carnforth, returning via the Settle and Carlisle line.
