  1. Will it be 45212 + 37706 (37 came from carnforth – hellifield, attached to 45212 then went onto chester) be together as a pair?

    I believe there will be 2 locos of when leaving lime st which are 47815 and 57008
    Will the front one come off at chester and change formation as there is no path for diesel to come off, only for the steam to come on

    Will the class 37 be behind 45212 or is the 37 staying at chester middle yard?
