The purpose of my ridiculously early trip from home was to capture the passage of the 03.09 Southall to Coventry empty coaching stock move. Running as 3Z60 the smart Northern Belle-operated train is seen passing Milton Malsor just catching the early morning sun with 57303 'Pride of Carlisle' leading and just visible on the rear is 57315. On arrival at Coventry, the train would then work forward as The Settle and Carlisle Steam Special being steam hauled from Carnforth by 34067 'Tangmere'.
