On 15th & 16th April it made two return trips from Carlisle to Low Fell or Tyne Yard and today 1 return trip, before working Carlisle-York Station sidings, where it is currently sitting.
As the LNER diversions are usually September, does anyone know why there is the driver training at present?

It could simply be that it's because there are spare pathways at the moment thanks to current circumstances, whether it's for DCR drivers or on behalf of another company I don't know, the trips are scheduled to be running again next week
