Class 91 : Blunt end forward at Carlisle! GBRf's diverted This Time its Personal Railtour 04 Sept 21

Day 3 of GBRf's charity railtour in aid of Prostate Cancer UK. The run from Oban to Carlisle should have been via Edinburgh and Newcastle. Due to several participants testing positive for nonovirus, the tour was diverted to run direct from Mossend to Carlisle.
I spent an hour or so before its expected arrival on Carlisle Station watching some of the evening trains. The railtour was held at Gretna Junction and in the loops at Kingmoor before getting a path into Citadel station.
For whatever reason, the loco chosen for this leg,of the journey, LNER 91130, Lord Mayor of Newcastle, had its the blunt end forward, rather than the streamlined forward nose.

It was pretty dark by this time so apologies for the graininess of the later footage.
