Unfortunately, despite the fog lifting it was not happening quickly

enough for the sun to illuminate 86259 'Les Ross/Peter Pan' as it works the outward leg of The Cumbrian Mountain Express that left Euston at 07.09 heading, ultimately, for Carlisle. The AC electric would come off the train at Carnforth where 60009 'Union of South Africa' would take over leading the train later southwards over the fabled and Settle and Carlisle route. The train is seen passing near to the village of Blisworth on the Weedon route in Northamptonshire.
