An early morning stock move from Carlisle Kingmoor to Burton behind work worn DRS 37716 was potentially worth photting this morning.
I was aware it was to be six 'coffins' but was not prepared for three of them being the 'scabbiest' I have ever encountered! Not sure why this move came about but I am sure somebody out there knows?

D1015 'Western Champion' leads the 6M42 0920 Avonmouth Hanson Sdg GBRf to Penyffordd Cement GBRf past Cam & Dursley Station, with 66714 'Cromer Lifeboat' tucked in behind.
The 6M42 was once again being used as a test for D1015, with its last mainline test run being back in September 2021. The train was held up at Stoke Gifford for around 90 minutes due to a points failure but eventually got under way.

A break from the humdrum of work on Wednesday afternoon this week and some decent light and traction floating around, not including 31233 and a missed Flying Scotsman.
Starting with 3/4 of an hour at Beighton Junction with 31233, 66094, 66418, 66519 and 66738 a trip down to Tesco at Chestefield with 56103 and 66128 thrown in and it was a good couple of hours peace and quiet in the fresh air and away from work.
The last weeks couple of panics over, but still not much time for railways, but a pleasant interlude.
