86259, outward leg of The Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express, 07.10 London Euston-Carlisle (1Z86), A45- Weedon bypass bridge
86259 'Les Ross/Peter Pan' cuts through the dense fog with
the 1Z86 Winter on the Cumbrian Mountain Express railtour that left Euston a little later than its scheduled 07.10. The train is seen passing Weedon taken from the lofty heights of the new A45 bridge that is part of the bypass opened in December 2018. Unfortunately, the customers who paid to go on this railtour expected steam haulage up and over Shap returning via the Settle and Carlisle route were to be disappointed as 35018 'British India Line' was declared a failure at Carnforth before even being attached to the train so it was hauled by 47826.
