A Castle returned to the Settle and Carlisle on March 10 when Tyseley-based Castle Class 4-6-0 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe piloted Princess Royal Class 4-6-2 6201 Princess Elizabeth on the Carnforth - Carlisle and Carlisle - Bescot legs of a round trip from Tyseley to Carlisle - outward via the WCML and returning via the S&C. Sadly 6201 was failed at Carlisle leaving 5043 to work southbound as noted at Ribblehead when 5043 accelerated its 12-coach trainset off the viaduct - already 20 minutes ahead of its scheduled passing time.
