Severe Evening Delays at Carlisle when LSL's 37401 returns, with other Action 24 June 2026

Wednesday 24 June at Carlisle. 29degrees C, Hot for these parts. I went out to film 37401 heading from Bo'ness to Upperby light engine and possibly an MOD freight (which don't always run). I get the afternoon and early evening freights but also delayed WCML passenger trains, from Avanti, TransPennine and Lumo. The heat in the south wouldn't help but in the evening a points failure at Lancaster really spoiled things with 150+ minute delays at Carlisle on northbound services and their return runs. Lumo's 222601 also seems to have had problems.
