One from earlier this month, whilst away from my usual patch in West Yorkshire and several from 24th September 2021...

 

Freightliner 66594 NYK Spirit of Kyoto passes over the level crossing at Moreton, heading west, on 14th September working 0A71, 10.51 Brockenhurst to Eastleigh East Yard, via Weymouth.  I assume as this was one of several similar trips over a few days between Eastleigh and Weymouth that it was for driver training/route refresher purposes.

Back in West Yorkshire and on 24th September 2021 at Mirfield, four up for Freightliner as 66559 leads 66537, 66507 and 66419, plus a lengthy rake of intermodal flats, working 6Z22, 11.20 Hunslet Yard to Crewe Basford Hall...

...followed a few minutes later by DB Cargo 66105 heading 6M16, 05.40 Wilton EFW Terminal to Knowsley Freight Terminal, empty binliner...

...and then heading east, GBRf 66756 'Royal Corps of Signals' rumbles through with 6E09, 07.38 Liverpool Biomass Terminal to Drax Power Station, loaded biomass hoppers.

...the Sundays Only 6M51, 12.03 Doncaster Down Decoy Yard to Liverpool Biomass Terminal empty biomass hoppers is often double-headed to move an additional locomotive across the Pennines.  The movement on 3rd October 2021 of three additional locomotives in 6M51 was however unusual.

 

GBRf 66778 'Cambois Depot 25 Years’ leads sisters 66757 ‘West Somerset Railway’ and 66713 ‘Forest City’, with 60021 ‘PENYGHENT’, heading west along the Calder Valley towards Brighouse with empty biomass hoppers.
