These two class 40s were stored at Crewe. The shot was grabbed whilst window hanging, as you do. I sent this original slide into Traction mag and it was printed in Issue 65 the problem is I have never had my slide back so this is a scan from the mag, well I must not complain, at least I got a tenner.

British Rail Class 170 'Doodlebug' 3 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 170208 working the 1P57 17:30 (19:05 18L at CHM) Abellio Greater Anglia Norwich- London Liverpool Street service train southbound at Generals Lane overbridge on the Great Eastern Main Line near Boreham in Essex (UK).
Who knows why a 3 car diesel multiple unit was operating this service. This should be a Class 90 locomotive hauled 8 carriage train.
Might be linked to this train's 18 minute delay while the whole GEML was subject to heat related cancellations and speed restrictions during this day.
Note 'The Brecks' vinyl wrap livery and the train is approaching a double yellow (preliminary caution) signal aspect.
The double yellow warns the driver that the following signal may be at single yellow (caution) and the signal after that may be at red (stop, danger).

British Rail Class 69 Co-Co diesel locomotive 69003 as operated by GBRf (GB Railfreight) working a rake of empty JNA box wagons from Mountfield (East Sussex) to Southampton Western Docks at Eastleigh Station in the County of Hampshire (UK).
I think this is a daily GBRf service for the collection of gypsum from the Port of Southampton back to Mountfield.
69003 was originally built by Electroputere S.A. of Craiova, Romania and entered service for British Rail as Class 56, 56018 on August 23rd 1977.
56018 was rebuilt including a new low emission engine and other major improvements by Progress Rail for GBRf then reclassified as Class 69, 69003 in 2021.
Note the 'speed whiskers' which are a tribute to some pre yellow panel British Railways diesel multiple units from the 1950's/1960's.
