Filming Freight Trains in Scotland 12/11/25
The day didn't start very good as due to problems around Wolverhampton the night before the train couldn't get into the depot to be cleaned, and was left in the station all night it then started from Stafford but with no staff apart from the train manager, so no buffet till Preston.
I then found out that the RHTT I wanted to film was cancelled during its night run, I then spotted it on Carstairs when I passed looking like it was about to go.
Fingers crossed it went east and started its diagram by the Fourth Bridge so I was pleased about that I got it.
