There was work going on yesterday, Sat 26th. As I came through the Lune gorge southbound on the M6 I saw two stationary northbound ballast trains just south of Tebay. Class 60`s on each. I also noticed there were floodlights in place, so they had either worked overnight, or were planning to. Hope this helps.
Regards Mike.

Work might be being generous John! When I passed there were a lot of orange men standing around but not much action!

Best wishes,
