Fantastic Train Action with UK's SMARTEST locos: Class 93s at Carlisle 17 March 2026
The first thing I found were a pair of ROG Class 93s having laid over en route to Inverness to move carriages. Plenty of other Freight and loco action.
Plus the amended West Coast Main Line Avanti, TransPennine and ScotRail trains
following the Union Street fire in Glasgow closing Central Station.
Of course, Northern trains are running to schedule
We hear that Network Rail will open the west side of Glasgow Central on 18th March, thus allowing one Avanti train per hour but no TransPennine services yet.
The times shown on clips are for guidance only and shouldn't be taken as definitive.
Any observations are my own and not intended to show any authority and may show my misunderstanding.
