This is a scenario for the WCML Over Shap route.

Following a points failure at Kingmoor Up Loop, you’ve been held in Carlisle N.Y., instead, until your booked path south. Although you’re running around half an hour early, you must remain where you are and wait for instructions from the Kingmoor shunter before moving.

Once you’re given the road, you’ll take 66037 out of Carlisle N.Y. and head south. On departure, be prepared to negotiate higher-priority traffic at Caldew Junction, and you may be checked or held there for some time depending on traffic levels.

You’ll work the train towards Eden Valley Loop, where you will be held as booked, before continuing south towards Preston where another driver will be waiting to relieve you.

This job is usually booked for a pair of Class 90s, so it’s a bit of a surprise to be handed a Class 66 instead. Keep an eye on the gradients, drive it steadily, and manage the train smoothly.
