The first mainline excursion for D213 Andania, the 'Cumbrian Mountain Whistler', ran from Crewe to Carlisle via the S&C on 27th August 2018. The return route was over Shap. The superb looking (and sounding) green machine is seen passing Ramsgreave & Wilpshire station having just surmounted the climb from Blackburn.
