Lostock Hall
The Fellsman is currently a weekly service from Lancaster to
Carlisle via Preston, Blackburn and the Settle & Carlisle line. On 11 August 2010 ex-LMS Royal Scot class 4-6-0 no 46115 Scots Guardsman climbs away from the WCML at Farington Curve Junction on the approach to Lostock Hall. After a troubled year Scots Guardsman has gone some way towards making amends for its earlier failures. As well as turning in a faultless performance on this train, the locomotive came to the rescue of the Scarborough Spa Express the following day with a sprint from Carnforth to Milford to take over from the temporary diesel substitute. Well done to West Coast Railways for what must be the most impressive Thunderbird run of the year.
