Plenty punters taking photos of that and 158849, that I guess was in on a Settle run.
The Dalesman runs twice a week out of Carlisle on Tue and Thu. Could be that?

Looks like the West Coast run I seen last Thursday is also a regular. It's booked in Tue & Thu this week too. 47760 was on the front, and 57314 on the back when I seen it.

While some have attempted to label the project as a colossal waste of money, I'm quite optimistic. I think it will be quite well-used and, hopefully, a case can be made for extending the line further south towards Hawick (and perhaps Carlisle).
If you do, it's worth waiting round for the loco hauled Fife Circle diagrams. This post should help if you are interested.
