37s Head to Scotland: Gretna Cotehill Carlisle 01 May 2026

May Day around Carlisle featuring Class 37s at the start and end of the video! Recorded at Springfield, north of Gretna Junction, Low Dun Fold bridge between Cotehill and Howe & Co's Siding on the S&C and at Carlisle Citadel Station. A mix of freight and passenger trains today. The morning was quite hot but in the afternoon things clouded over before rain and showers later in the afternoon.

1st March was also the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Settle Carlisle line to passenger traffic. It opened to goods a year earlier.
