A landslip at Kilsby led to a Northbound closure of the WCML from 27th January 2021, and diversions via Northampton. On 9th February this bright red Voyager contrasts vividly with the surrounding (inevitably short-lived) snow. Beyond the fence, 66004 heads for the Eddie Stobart sidings to do some shunting.

A mathematical puzzle: If 66004 picks up 4 Cargowaggons from the siding nearest to the Eddie Stobart warehouse, backs them onto the rake in the other siding, pulls a total of 12 wagons out, then deposits 6 in the siding outside the warehouse; then puts the rest of the waggons back in the siding adjacent to the Northampton loop; how many waggons are now in the siding next to the main line?

It's a lonely life a-shunting. Malcolm group locomotive 08823 returns to the main yard at DIRFT on 18 December 2015 after depositing a rake of Cargowaggons by the Eddie Stobart warehouse see image [[53111]]. The Northampton loop off the WCML is out of view to the right of the concrete fence.
