Making its first, and the class types first, visit to the town of Doncaster in South Yorkshire on the East Coast mainline transporting a Greater Anglian coach for refurbishment at the Wabtec Rail site in Doncaster, also known as Doncaster works, working up from Norwich Crown Point Depot as 5Z54 to Doncaster West Yard, Wabtec, before returning back down to Norwich Crown Point Depot light engine where it continues to be used for driver training purposes is this very mean and streamlined looking Vossloh locomotive one of the first 10 currently in the UK after delivery from Spain and the Vossloh factory by sea and rail delivered to Direct Rail Services in Crewe at its Gresty Bridge depot. The locomotives coming to Direct Rail Services are the first of there type in the country and are the only currently on order as the Class 68 diesel locomotive which are now starting to enter service and been trailed on many of Direct Rail Services trains this one number 68004 and named Rapid and has arrived along with 68002-011 leaving 68001 at Vossloh for testing and more on the production line the smart looking livery suiting this sleek locomotive well I personally think the Class 68 boasts great looks and after the performance of this one they seem to be able to accelerate quickly and handle themselves well although 1 Mk3 coach isn't exactly a test for loco or driver however hopefully these posh and certainly hellfire locomotives will make more of an appearance over the East side and although the dreams of a pair working Rail Head Treatment Trains out of York I'm sure restrictions will prevent such things but hey I'm happy at having the Class 20 locos working those jobs too. Here Class number 68004 sits on the second goods line at Doncaster awaiting signal been cleared to off showing the lines of the locomotive's cab section well and the sleek dynamic lines of the livery along the locomotives body and nameplate, rapid, of which it certainly is.
