 Realtime Trains indicated that the 1Z86 Cumbrian Mountain Express was heavily delayed so I headed back home from Victoria Bridge. By the time I had got home and had breakfast it was on its way! After finishing my tea and toast I walked across the field from home to witness 47746 'Chris Fudge 29.7.70-22.6.10' leading the late running railtour as it approached Roade on the WCML. The usual haulage, in the form of 86259, had failed at Euston and the 47 had to be rapidly summoned to haul the special north.
