Weekly Bin Collection
For the second week running GB Railfreight's Biffa-liveried Class 66, 66 783 "The Flying Dustman" works the additional Tuesdays Only STVA. The extra train runs when required by customer demand. The loaded train runs during the day as 6X43, with the empties returning overnight from Garston as 6L47.
66783 has not-particularly-neat white cab window surrounds as it had been released the previous week from Longport after further mods to bring the ex-DB Cargo/EWS locomotive up to GB Class 66/7 spec. The mods at Longport were primarily focussed on diver comfort, including air con, new windows/double-glazing, new seats and improved sound insulation. "The Flying Dustman" is due a visit in the coming week or two to Arlington's at Eastleigh to have the paintwork touched up.
