66105 on the regular Thursday aggregates working to Day's Aggregates' siding, Newhaven. Unfortunately the Sun is directly behind the train, from the only possible access point, while it is at the siding, and I didn't have time to see it leave.

Not sure to be honest. I was only dropping off one of my daughters at the station and was surprised to see the train. GBRf  66752 was at the country end of the 15 Autoballasters, whilst in the west end up bay was a Tamper.

 

Services were running west of B'mth to Weymouth.

 

Also popped into BM and 73133 was running round on diesel-power.

I was over in Leeds today and decided to pop by the Freightliner Midland Road depot, plenty of stabled class 66's about.

Here are a few that I could photograph starting with 66571 then 66520, 66546. There was also 66513 behind 520.

Also at Midland road was 66413 in de-branded DRS colours with Freightliner logos on the cab sides, stabled with 66591:

After the trip to Leeds, I just got home in time to catch a GBRF biomass working through Brighouse at 15:57. 66742 was the loco today:

DRS 66426 was working from York parcel sidings to York parcel sidings, 022V, with what looked like a rail measurement device attached to the front. There where some blue laser type lights running along the rail tops. It seemed a little unusual working as it passed through some stations, like Brighouse, six times and plenty others. Here I photographed it passing through Deighton at 14:42, in typical weather conditions, heading towards Huddersfield station where it terminates and awaits time before heading back to York parcel sidings.

I saw a DRS 66 pass through Leeds Station last Thursday morning at around 08:11. I noticed that it had some equipment fitted to at least one end. I couldn't see the number though. I know that 66422, 66426 and 66429 were at York Parcel Sidings on the day. I assume it was 66426 now because you and several others have spotted it with the equipment attached.

111 was involved in a suicide whilst working 6K05 a few years ago. The body was wedged in the buckeye........

A couple of workings through Brighouse this afternoon. First one was Freightliner 66618 'Railway Illustrated' on 492Z Fiddlers ferry power station to Ferrybridge power station with empty HHA's passing 15:56 running 15mins late. Note the graffiti on the front of the loco.

Then 12mins later, GBRF 66725 'Sunderland AFC' passed through on 6M38 Arcow Quarry to Bredbury Tilcon with a fully loaded rake passing at 16:08
