Bonfire Night Trial
Much more of a real-world test for the Class 93s as Rail Operation Group’s Class 93, 93006 leads Freightliner Class 66, 66512 through Hartford on 4S48 1915 Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal to Mossend PD Stirling.
Despite a total train weight of 1,619 tonnes and a total train length of 774 metres, 4S48 gained 8 minutes climbing Shap and 11 minutes climbing Beattock (against booked timings) suggesting the 93 performed well in the slippery November conditions.
