Beacon Blue In A Bit Of Bother
GB Railfreight Class 60, 60021 "Penyghent" hauls sickly sister locomotive 60026 "Helvellyn" - wearing Beacon Rail Leasing colours - through Lostock Gralam on 6E24 16:56 Liverpool Biomass Terminal to Drax Power Station.
60026 had run into bother in the Huyton area, requiring 60021 to run from the docks as 1Z99 to rescue the train and work it forward, albeit getting back underway more than three hours late.
Although some time had been made up due to missing out the booked looping at Northwich, the service was still 156 Late as it passed through Lostock Gralam.
Thanks to TheSilkmoth for the timely heads-up on this one!
