Interesting, when I was at Penistone 528 was doing the shunting backwards and forwards from the back, 501 was dead at the front.

Every one of GBRf’s 100 strong class 66 fleet is featured in my new video. Every current special livery is included. All filmed around the Peterborough area
 

it also shows how non standard GBRf’s ‘standard’ blue and orange colour scheme

is! 
 

so if you like 66’s and Modern railfreight, and have an hour to spare!, sit back and enjoy.

A busy day on the Arun Valley line saw five engineering services pass though. I did not catch all of them; two I completely missed and for one that I did see - operated by Colas 66849 - the photo was blurred. That left two.

 

IMG_7781.JPG.e101ecc0e8352e0d8abe82074a01eb08.JPG

66183 heads through Pulborough station with the 6N01 07:00 Cheam to Eastleigh East Yard. The front was unfortunately still in the shadows. Probably another 20 minutes would have seen the front better illuminated.

 

IMG_7794.JPG.43a65acf768105eae458559499fc82d9.JPG

66002 heads the 6N02 11:04 Cheam to Eastleigh East Yard across the river Arun, just south of Pulborough station.

 

Both pictures taken Sunday 7th August.
