UPDATE: Tornado no longer hauls the train from Bradford due to gauging issues. A diesel loco will take the train from Bradford to Hellifield, where Tornado will take over.

After time in Carlisle, the train departs at 16:05 and passes through Oxenholme Lake District (17:31) on its way to Carnforth South Junction, where Tornado is taken off the train.
From Carnforth, a diesel will take the train back to Bradford and will pass through Carnforth (18:33), Bentham (18:56), Giggleswick (19:12), Hellifield (19:26), Skipton (19:40), Keighley (19:53), Shipley (20:05) and Bradford Forster Square (20:20).
