The clear blue skies had been infiltrated by clouds less than an hour later as 47826 is seen passing the same spot with 5Z65 1301 Holgate - Carnforth (09/12/2018)
47851 brings up the rear of 5Z65 is its sister heads downgrade towards Killingbeck. The stock had run empty from Cleethorpes to York the previous night for stabling after arriving back from Edinburgh (09/12/2018)
