Direct Rail Services did have some ballast work into engineering possessions operating out of Doncaster around a month or two ago but since the locomotives used have been sat in the carriage sidings at Doncaster shut down where Direct Rail Services out base's the locomotive used on the national delivery service (NDS) trains it operates out of Doncaster which are often 6M18 to Toton, 6E20 back to Doncaster Up Decoy and utilise a Class 66 diesel locomotive at current 66427 despite common wabble that its going to be a 37, two 57s etc from those who like to stand on the station and within the internet and believe they know it all, are good friends with the manager or control manager and just want to start a rumour going, yes I've heard it all since this train started running, even having someone standing on the platform saying the 20s here we're to locomotives for the trains...that I'd love to see. Anyway this pair are seen here moving out of Doncaster's C.H.S or Carriage sidings with a light engine move into Platform 2 where again the driver shut them down and walked away leaving them here in favour of a train back home the two Class 20 diesel locomotives now getting on for 50 years of old cross over from the C.H.S into Platform 2 here covering about 0 miles, 30 chains...if that before been shut down and left yet again the move links to a pair of West Coast Railway Company (WCRC) charter trains overnighting in the C.H.S that evening the move taking place around 16:00, give or take not really paying attention to the time of the day, the Class 20's, 20308 & 20309, sounding ever nice as the move. Direct Rail Services main use of this type is the Rail Head Treatment Trains (RHTT) which operate during the leaf fall season of autumn and into the winter to reduce wheel slip for trains which causes heavy delays and even cancellations and can seriously affect the safe running of the railway the season soon to be starting now the leaves starting to fall and cold nights closing in.
Direct Rail Services Class 66/4, 66426, is seen on the rear of 3S14 Grimsby Town to York Works, as it departs Grimsby Town on 8th October 2021.

A group of retired gentlemen await their service to Birmingham, with Direct Rail Services 57311 'Thunderbird' behind on the down centre road at Carlisle Citadel station. The loco was fresh from Eastleigh works paintshops in May and has been named 'Thunderbird' to honour the nickname given to the 57/3's when they originally entered service with Virgin Trains. 57311 was originally class 47/4 No.47817 prior to its conversion to a GM class 57/3, and was formerly named 'Parker' when owned by Virgin Trains.
