For the full effect, sniff a Pine air freshener whilst watching it!

Colas 56096 assisting 70807 with 6M43, Haverton to Colas Ribble Rail, loaded bitumen tanks, passing through Brighouse on 12th July 2023.

Piecing together the sequence of events, 70807 had left Haverton on time at 02.28 but encountered a problem early into its journey, reaching York 86 minutes late.  56096 was summoned from Doncaster to take the entire consist forward from York, by then +171 minutes, passing me at Brighouse +154 minutes down and reaching its destination at Preston +116 minutes late.  All in all, given the route that this working has across the Pennines, I'd suggest that's a pretty creditable performance by the driver and the signallers involved too.

The only time a fastline 56 pulled a coal train, the 66 had ran out of fuel en route to ratcliffe

and 56096 on its only freight working in europhoenix livery, i failed with the 66 and limped into Elford loop where the 56 dragged me onward to washwood heath for a loco swap
