On a very dull and miserable Saturday morning 86259 'Les

Ross/Peter Pan' approaches Roade leading the outward leg of 'The Cumbrian Mountain Express' railtour running with its usual headcode of 1Z86. This is a new spot recently opened up after the embankment next to Ashton Road bridge, just south of Roade, has been repaired and reinforced with rock armour. Following the completion of the work, the palisade fencing has been reinstated meaning that the use of a ladder or poking the camera through the gap with the flip-out screen extended is required in order to get a reasonable photograph.
