When does it return?

This sounds a bit strange as they don’t like to run tender engines backwards at speed (if the weather is poor then there will be a lot of weather coming into the cab), so Bury to Carnforth backwards seem the wrong thing to do especially as there is a turning triangle at Castleton Junction.

I think they need a bit of joined up thinking.
