IMG_6090 66415 on 4M86 03.00 Felixstowe North to East Midlands Gateway passing Lea Marston at 08.58 on 22nd April 2021
When walking to the location at Whitacre Junction I saw this pass as it headed towards Washwood Heath to perform the run-round. I noted a decent load on it but suspected that the backend was empty due to the distinctive sound the flats make when passing. That proved to be the case when they became the leading part when passing me here.
As frustrating as it is to have fresh air behind the loco I would still rather a shot than not.
