A rather undignified return home for 60103 as it heads for Carnforth on the rear of excursion stock hauled by 57601 on 31st October 2021. The previous day it had taken an excursion from Manchester Piccadilly to Stratford-upon-Avon and back but had to overnight at Blackburn because of the usual Saturday night WCML closure. The train is seen passing through Forton on a very wet day, with the cab sheeting firmly in place for this tender first run, and just for once I was the only person watching.
