Andy and I decided to stay for one final train at Mossband bridge between Carlisle and Gretna before moving on. I went to the northern side of the bridge, that was constructed in 2007/8 to carry the M6/M74 contiguous section of road linking Scotland with England over the border near Gretna. 156413 picks up speed after joining the WCML at Gretna Junction working the 13.05 Dumfries to Carlisle local service. The milepost indicates that this location is eight and three-quarter miles north from Carlisle heading towards Glasgow and Edinburgh via the LMS route.
