Long story here, 6201 Princess Elizabeth at Garsdale 12Jul. A Class 40 diesel special was running north up the WCML on the same day. It had been worked out that a shot of the diesel could be obtained at Greenholme and then cross over to Garsdale for the steam. Wrong the diesel was mega late so that had to be abandonded to ensure the steam was captured, it too was late and the sun had come round to far. Such is life.
