Frustrating West Coast Main Line Delays and Evening Freight at Carlisle 30 Jan 2026

Description
When I arrived at the station around 3pm, southbound trains on the main line were being held at Carlisle and their progress south seemed to be from station to station. It stayed like that for a couple of hours. Northbound trains were already disrupted following a fire in the morning outside Euston.
Recorded a few freights too.

I'd actually gone out to record some one-off freights but one by one they were cancelled.
