61264 pilots Black 5 - 45407409 views25/01/2014 - Winter CME - B1 -61264 pilots Black 5 - 45407 approaching Fowler Lane, north of Leyland heading for Carlisle in the early dawn light.

I was going to dash North to catch it further on its journey, as it was booked into Barton loop. But a phone call saying my daughter was in labour meant a rush home to help the family.
As it so happened, it wasnt looped and I would have had a wasted journey.
