| A few hours out to Doncaster and Barnetby on the East Coast today, produced a fair amount of DB Schenker, Freightliner and GBRf traffic, with 60's (including 60026 on Past Time Rail's 'hills of the North winter wonderland railtour) and 66's going about their work, plus the regular flux of ECML traffic.
Thanks to David Holden for the company. Special mention as well to Nicholas Ling (great to meet him) for being at Doncaster. |
