Offord Cluny
56098 is seen on the ECML approaching the A14 road bridge at Offord Cluny, Nr Great Paxton on the 16th of April 2022, working the 08:15 5Z13 unit move from Old Dalby to Hornsey EMU depot.
313121 was being moved back to Hornsey after completing some testing on the Test track at Old Dalby.
The Grid was actually running 15 early before it joined the ECML North of Peterborough, but that didn’t last. The veteran locomotive began to experience engine trouble just south of Peterborough, so it was put into Connington Loop where the engine was shut down before being restarted.
By the time it passed us here, it was 29 minutes late, leaving us with a tight chase across to Great Yarmouth to Photograph the Class 40 on the Norfolk Coast Express Tour. Thankfully the bank holiday traffic was kind to us, leaving plenty of time to get into position.
Thanks go to JS.
