The first revenue earning train for 35018 British India Line was the annual Lune Rivers Trust special from Carnforth to York on 30th September 2017. The train is seen calling at Wennington with the loco wreathed in steam, which hid the new BR Lined Green paintwork. Unfortunately the loco was failed at the NRM with a middle big end problem and replaced by 45699 Galatea for the return trip.See image 23780 taken from the same spot over fifty years earlier.
