Eccles Road

66732, GBRF, The First Decade 1999 - 2009, John Smith - MD, on 6P40, 06:00, Harwich Refinery CRLS SLVS - North Walsham GBRF (14:41) - empty condensate tanks (18 TEA)

Due to a points failure (on going) at Manningtree East Junction meaning trains couldn't use the Northbound leg of the Manningtree triangle (off the Harwich line toeards Norwich) the train was diverted, but because the tanks are required in a specific orientation it couldn't simply run round at Colchester and head back up the GEML so it went on a magical mystery tour via Stratford, Broxbourne, Cambridge, Ely and down the Brecklands to Norwich where it regained its normal path to Walsham.

After a break of a couple of months and a change of freight operator from GBRf back to Freightliner, loaded coal trains are again crossing the Pennines via the Calder Valley route.  Freightliner 66523 restarts its full load of hoppers after a signal stop on the approach to Brighouse on 3rd April 2018.

Looks like the modern equivalent of ‘Where’s Wally?’.

 

I’m always impressed that even with up to date IT systems, they can find the boxes when they need to.

My visits to Maritime have always been in the light.  I must try that next time I'm in the area - just missed an opportunity as I was there last week !
