Direct Rail Services (DRS), a subsidiary of British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) leased Class 66 locomotives from Porterbrook. Previously, they had relied on a fleet of ageing second-hand Class 20, Class 33, Class 37 and Class 47 locomotives. In 2002, DRS ordered ten Class 66/4 locomotives from EMD. These were delivered in 2003, numbered 66401–410, and are employed on new Anglo-Scottish traffic, some with Stobart Rail. They are painted in a variation of DRS's blue livery, with two locomotives, 66411 and 66414, in Stobart Rail livery. More locomotives have since been ordered, with ten (66411–420) again T2 style spec locos, delivered in 2006 and another ten (66421–430) delivered in late 2007. As of 2008, DRS had another four locomotives (66431–66434) on order.
DRS have now returned 401-10 as they are high emission locos thus meaning they are the newest fleet set to reach storage.[when?DRS 66s now see regular work on Nuclear Flask trains running from several locations as Carlisle Kingmoor, Sellafield, Crewe, Dungeness, Willesden, Seaton and Berkeley. This is due to the ageing class 20s needing major overhauls. Most are now in storage or on hire to GBRF to deliver new LUL stock
I know this is not the first day of operations, but it is part of the saga of 58021 and its replacements.
58030 had arrived at Shirebrook at around 20:00 on Wednesday 2nd October as a replacement for the troublesome 58021. On Friday 4th October, 58030 passed through Creswell for the first time at 20:19 on a late running 7G96 18:45 Warsop Colliery to West Burton. 58030’s stay on the area was short lived, as it was involved in a SPAD on Tuesday 8th October at Shireoaks East Jct, whilst working 7F79 the 16:15 Welbeck Colliery to Cottam. The loco returned light engine from Worksop to Shirebrook for examination. It was found that 58030 needed tyre turning, so it was sent to Toton on Thursday 10th October, being replaced by 58023.

Something for the weekend.
Now deep in the lockdown due to this Coronavirus, Easter 2020 has a very strange feel to it.
I hope everyone is keeping well and staying safe.
So something for the railway colleagues to peruse for a while, have fun spotting all the details.
Brush Type 4 Class 47, possibly 47069, about to enter Wandsworth Town station, now extended along this stretch of track, and taken using a hand-me-down Kodak Coloursnap camera, great for static but not moving subjects, from the flat above the Alma Public House. Happy days!

Greater Anglia Class 156 'Super Sprinter' 2 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 156419 awaiting departure to Cromer and Sheringham at Norwich station in Norfolk (UK).
Our train to Sheringham! I have to say information about this train at Norwich Station is poor with 2 people asking me whether this was the train to Great Yarmouth including one on the train!. ( think it was the camera that done it ;-)
I have to say though for anyone arriving at Norwich and changing for this train without entering the concourse I saw no information on destination or departure time for this train. You are left to work it out for yourself.
These were examples the class instructor brought for us to view. Here was the class description:
"Learn how to easily and cheaply produce small tokens, jewelry and dress accessories the way it was done in the Middle Ages. Students will learn about the use of pewter tokens, badges and trinkets in the 14th and 15th centuries, and will have the opportunity to produce a small piece of their own, carving a soapstone mold and casting it themselves. Instructors will provide soapstone for a mold, metal for casting, all tools, dust masks and a handout of period examples."

Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth on these in this British Rail blue livery at Chelmsford station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the late 1970s.
