Photographing Skips - The class 67's

[Arun Sharma]

I had reason to be lurking around Doncaster last Friday. 67028 plus various container flats and some Arlington Rail vehicles were lurking by the 'Plant' buildings.

When I was a lad 50+ years ago Footex’s were common and in the early 1970’s I used a couple of Notts County Footex’s to visit Plymouth and Swansea, with visits to the local MPD’s (Laira and Landore respectively) in lieu of the match.

They are these days a rare occurrence however today, 26th February 2023 is Cup Final Day at Wembley and Newcastle United have a Footex, 1Z45, 08:43 Newcastle Wembley Central and here it is, top and tailed by 67005 and 67024 passing through Long Eaton.

Almost forty five years ago I had a morning at Loughborough on League Cup Final day in 1978. Nottingham Forest played Manchester United and Forest had something like fourteen Footex’s that day to/from Wembley.

'24 was on the front of the Pullmans on Friday - but the back of the train got hidden before I could see what was behind "Gwen" !

A couple of recent 67s from me. Linked from my Flickr. 

67010 has just arrived at Cardiff Central with a set of black Mk4s on 1V39 from Manchester Piccadilly. The set was originally overhauled for Grand Central's services to Blackpool, but these never started running and instead TFW purachsed the overhauled stock. DVT 82201 was on the rear.

 

Right place, right time today.

Former Colas, and now once again Colas 67027 is seen on the fuel point at Westbury with dead duck 70808. With the pair of Beacon Rail owned 67s being prepared for lease to GBRf, 027 gained the blue and orange colours in readiness for its redeployment. With GB now deciding not to take the 67s on, reapplication of Colas branding is being undertaken. The small cab side GB Railfreight logos have been replaced by the Colas diamonds, but the large bodyside GBRf logo is painted. Expect this to be covered by a Colas logo within a few days, once the vinyl men return to cover it over. 67027 and 70808 were about to head over to the downside, where they were both due some attention at the Elephant House workshop.
