20132 20118 3S14 Mirfield 27th Nov 2020

20132 leads 20118 past Mirfield on the Huddersfield leg of the South and East Yorkshire RHTT circuit.

Running as 3S14 following a reversal of direction at Grimsby, the Huddersfield leg has been added in 2020, added as an out and back onto the original circuit from Wakefield Kirkgate, before continuing as before to Sheffield via Barnsley. 2020 has seen class 37s take over from the older EE type 2s but all five allocated to it failed or developed wheelflats so the class 20s were hired in from Harry Needle. Starting out on the 21st using 20311 and 20314, they did not get further than Worksop before 20314 was declared a failure and the train terminated! Class 66s deputised on the Monday and this Railfreight pairing were brought in from the Tuesday, seen here on the afternoon of Friday the 27th of November heading back towards Wakefield.
