200728 66737 6M80 Woofferton - Salford Hope St Peakstone Cheney Longville 4920
The debacle the previous evening involving a TfW unit failing at Ludlow which resulted in a three hour delay incurred by all northbound passenger services and the driver of GBRf 66737 'Lesia' which was heading the 6M80 Neath Abbey Wharf - Salford Hope St was forced to abandoning the stricken freight in Woofferton Loop since he was 'out-of-hours'.
GBRf 66737 'Lesia' spent most of the next day in Woofferton 'Vegged-Up' loop - which, if I'm blunt, isn't a great advert for the Network Rail ground maintenance capabilities - in fact, its an utter disgrace!
By chance I noticed late Tuesday afternoon that a VSTP path had been entered indicating that the 6M80 was to resume its journey 18.25 Woofferton - Salford Hope St and so I set off from home, over Clee Hill to photograph the action.
GBRf 66737 'Lesia' is seen at Cheney Longville, to the north of Craven Arms, heading the 6M80 Woofferton - Salford Hope St Peakstone loaded aggregates comprising of 20 llA's.
