Leicester North: I visited the GCR to enjoy 'chimney music' from D6700, a Class 37 diesel. Little did I realize that 68067 - Hudswell Clarke 1752 of 1943 - being quite a small 0-6-0ST, would be much more vocal hauling the same number of coaches. Notice the light recently installed on what used to be the road bridge over Belgrave and Birstall station.

Bay Horse: GBRf's first numbered 66701 was regularly rostered for 4S57, Hams Hall to Mossend intermodal, during December 2025. On the 23rd it crossed the embankment between Forton and Bay Horse with a very light load of just five containers at the front of a long rake of empty flat wagons. A few days earlier there wasn't a single space on the train.
