I'm presuming that this is part of a driver training/route refreshing trip as the 69 should later today, if they all run, be working;

 

0Z09 Crewe Basford Hall to Huddersfield

 

0Z10 Huddersfield to Crewe Basford Hall

 

0Z11 Crewe Basford Hall to Doncaster Down Decoy

 

The four workings are currently in the schedule also for Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th.

Surely they must have a can of off-white to paint the driver's cab windscreen surround. It's been like that for ages now.


It certainly gives it a unique look - almost like a black eye. 
 

I wonder if Bachmann will reproduce this oddity in their forthcoming model?

It just completes the 'retro' look, by wearing a monocle.....

It's on a route-learning trip, so needs to keep an eye on where it's going !

 

Cheers,
