47832 + 66031 Moorthorpe 4E49 1052 Daventry - Doncaster iPort 27-07-25
47832 + 66031 approach Moorthorpe with 4E49 1052 Daventry - Doncaster iPort. The 47 assisted 4E49 from Chesterfield after the failure of both DRS locos on the train. 66108 was on the rear. Originally booked into the iPort at Doncaster the service diverted via Moorthorpe to York Yards where 68007 was sent from Carlisle to work forward to Tees Dock. The 47 appeared to be struggling to get hold of the weighty consist here as it had been checked down to allow a Cross Country service off the the Leeds line. I was on the way home from work when I got the headsup re the diversion so just managed tp get to Moorthorpe in time. 27th July 2025.
