Colas Rail Freight Class 56s 56302 "Peco - Railway Modeller 2016 70 Years" and 56078 accelerate towards Barnt Green

Colas Rail Freight Class 56s 56302 "Peco - Railway Modeller 2016 70 Years" and 56078 accelerate towards Barnt Green with the 11:31 (63 early) 3S33 Swindon to Gloucester Horton Road Rail Head Treatment Train.

 

This train was booked to pass here northbound at 12:00 and the plan was for it to go into Kings Norton OTP. Instead, it passed at 11:24 so I missed it going north and it was sent into the loop here at Barnt before heading south.

 

 

Since then, 56105 and 56078 were allocated to the RHTT diagram but 56078 was replaced by 56104, which then suffered faults. The Gloucester RHTT is now worked by Freightliner Class 66s.
