I thought the biggest Garratt was at Manchester, Eric, but I have been known to be wrong. Occasionally ;-) Interesting about the Bittern. I live within half a miles of the line between Leeds and Skipton and often see the locos on route to the Settle/Carlisle line. We also see occasional East Coast trains, which confuses me somewhat because there is no route, as far as I know, from the western dales to York without going via Leeds.

Look what you have done now! Set me on a mission. Bang goes Friday afternoon...
