After a great deal of 'will they - won't they?' speculation the DRS Class 68s took over one of the Cumbrian Coast passenger diagrams in March 2018. 68018 Vigilant hauled the first southbound service, now restricted to three coaches, with 68017 Hornet on the rear to power the return leg. The first train is seen at Cleveley Bank Lane bridge, south of Bay Horse, heading for Preston on Monday 12th March 2018.
