56301
18 years ago today, back when the sun shone in spring time!
After EWS finished with 56s & 56078 was switched off on the 30th March 2004, everyone thought that was the end of 56s on the mainline. Just over 2 years later & they were back! Fastline reactivated 56045 (now renumbered to 56301) for use on its intermodal services & 2 other examples were to follow suit a little later.
56301 on its 1st train back on the mainline works 6Z56 10:05 Doncaster Hexthorpe - Derby loaded test run through Chevin on the 4th April 2006
