Give us a push
This is a new flow which following a trial several months ago and a maiden run on 4th May is a pretty impressive watch. 70010 combines with 66618 and 70017 (banking out of sight at the back) on the 4400T 6z88 20:44 Tunstead Sdgs to Wembley Receptions 1-7. This type of operation has been ongoing for years down south between the Somerset quarries and London with double headed 59s running night services to Acton where the train is split into two and maybe Freightliner having learnt from these operations is adopting the methodology with stone trains from the Peak District quarries.
Arrival in North London having run down the WCML is at 05:21 with onward trains being 06:36 to Park Royal Marcon listed as 2400T and 07:36 to Bow Depot listed at 2000T.
Next challenge to find a stretch of track long enough to photograph the whole train.
