Jack374 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The latest class 66 to bolster the UK fleet (as if we need any more) is 66798, which was confused with 66796, although I think the consensus is it’s now 798 - the paperwork in the windows said so! Hauled to Eastleigh by 47749, seen at Peartree just south of Derby. Flickr links: And YT: Thanks, Jack. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted March 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2021 A few stills from a vid I have just taken at Goring today. GBRF 66793 with 47749 heading to Doncaster. Looked stunning. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack374 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Today I saw the third EuroShed in 3 days, although a more common one now. 66791 leads Freightliner 66554, 66951 and EWS 66088 through Barrow on Trent on a 7Z45 Toton to Bescot trip. I’d no idea 4 would be on it, I fully expected 791 and a crane. Thanks, Jack. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) One from my son 30 March 2021 Edge Lane Junction 66793 on 6E10, 11:15, Liverpool Bulk Terminal - Drax Biomass. The 66 is being trialled on the LBT Biomass, it drags the train - and a 60 (60002 was on the back) - from the LBT to Tuebrook Sidings, the 60 then takes the train forward Edited March 30, 2021 by beast66606 Added a bit more info 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 31, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) A lunchtime outing on 31/3/21 to photograph the stone empties for a future project (Accurascale short HYAs) 66786 backing in from the main line with 6M31 Hunslet-Arcow 66768 heads south with 6M37 Arcow-Pendleton loaded (After leaving the quarry about 90 minutes previously and heading up to Blea Moor to run round. (I mis-timed the pic) Another view of 66786 with Pen-Y-Ghent in view And then I left Arcow, forgetting that 66715 "Valour" was northbound with 6S94 Wembley-Irvine china clay. A quick layby stop and jump out with the cam. Not bad for 30 minutes Edited March 31, 2021 by newbryford typo 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted April 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Back in the early days of class 66 operation in the UK, 66002 whines though Leighton Buzzard with a down Freightliner.

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted April 2, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2021 Routed via the Standedge Tunnel and Huddersfield on 2nd April 2021 as a variation to its usual route via the Calder Valley, DB Cargo 66039 passing through Deighton with 6E26, 11.28 Knowsley Freight Terminal to Wilton EFW Terminal, loaded binliner. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted April 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Freightliner 66610 approaching Bradley Junction on 3rd April 2021 with 6Z68, 08.00 Dewsbury Blue Circle to Hope (Earles Sidings). Workings between Dewsbury Blue Circle and Hope (Earles Sidings) are usually scheduled via Wakefield Kirkgate - Moorthorpe - Sheffield, so this was an out of the ordinary routing that required the loco to run round the wagons east of Wakefield Kirkgate at Calder Bridge Junction. The stone building to the top right of the second image is the former Bradley station that closed in 1950 and is now a private residence.

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted April 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) 28 minutes ago, smithlington smithe said: A couple of double headers today at Todmorden Knowsley Freight Terminal to Wilton EFW Terminal 66001 and 66044 And Tees New Yard to Knowsley Freight Terminal 66039 and 66106 ... and in reverse order at Brighouse, 6M16 - 66039+66106... ...and 66001+66044 with 6E26 Both were double-headed as the loaded workings from Knowsley are being routed through Manchester Victoria and up Miles Platting bank due to engineering work on the usual booked route. And engineering work was presumably the reason that 6E10, 11.15 Liverpool Biomass Terminal to Drax Power Station was also diverted from its usual route along the Calder Valley and sent along the Huddersfield line headed, appropriately enough, by GBRf 66738 'HUDDERSFIELD TOWN'.
