DB Schenker: 67026 "Diamond Jubilee" at Carlisle by Lee Calder, on Flickr
Was just flicking through pictures on Flickr and came across it, and became pretty confused
As the train is an electric set (Class 91 - InterCity 225) and requires overhead wires to power it which Carlisle to Newcastle doesn't have, the electric sets have to be dragged over the lines.
