RMweb Gold 4630 Posted March 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2021 GBRf 66754 'Northampton Saints' passing through Deighton on 7th March 2021 with 6E10, 11.25 Liverpool Biomass Terminal to Drax Power Station, loaded biomass hoppers. Even with the reduced timetable currently in operation, daylight working of loaded biomass trains along the Huddersfield line via Standedge Tunnel are uncommon. A short time later GBRf 66714 'Cromer Lifeboat' passed in the opposite direction with the the Sundays Only 6M51, 12.03 Doncaster Down Decoy to Liverpool Biomass Terminal, empty biomass hoppers.

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted March 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2021 GBRf 66709 'Sorrento' approaching Brighouse on 8th March 2021 with 6H17, 13.32 Doncaster Down Decoy to Peak Forest, empty aggregate hoppers. Many enthusiasts, I imagine, have a loco that keeps cropping up numerous times, wherever you happen to be in the country. In my early 'spotting days' in the mid-1970s it was Crewe Diesel Depot's 47503. These days for me it seems to be 66709. DB Cargo 66133 passing through Brighouse with 6E26, 10.40 Knowsley Freight Terminal to Wilton EFW Terminal, loaded binliner. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
