Great coverage Phil, there was a lot of enthusiasts' at Carlisle, but it was good that it came in on that platform.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Mike. Yes, a lot there. Definitely, platform 1 is hopeless, whereas 3 is great with the long curve .

Super filming! But I have to ask how did you beat the train to Carlisle? Paul

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Paul.Haha, I left Crewe on a Pendo (unfortunately 4 minutes before the 40) and then made up quite alot of time before Carlisle.
