Think I may do a similar plan to yours as I'm struggling to find any other way to do the 508 with a open top that doesn't involve a hour wait. Though will leave the 77/78 as I've done them before.
Me neither, I shocked when I saw it coming in the opposite direction as I was leaving Carlisle on the 600. S797KRM (52627) was the example in question. Managed to get a photo of it at Keswick blinded up for the X4 to Cockermouth (not convinced it was actually on that as there was nobody on it, although the X5 left not long before it). It should hopefully get uploaded tomorrow along with a few other photos, only worry with the photo of 52627 is that I took it through the window of the Gold E300 I was on as I arrived in Keswick, looks alright on the camera though.
Yeah, this was pretty much the only way I could do an open top 508 without incurring an hours wait somewhere. Plan worked out pretty well today I feel.
