66741

Something a bit different on 6A33, this 66 (formerly 66581) has come off lease from Freightliner and been purchased by GBRf, hence its unbranded livery.

Summer Holiday

I've had the past week off work and been fortunate enough to have been blessed with some superb weather. Making the most of it, on Wednesday (29th) Dad and I took a very short drive into the country for a walk alongside the Great Eastern Mainline between Lancaster's Crossing and Haughley Junction, the highlight of which was watching a couple of foxes going about their business and shortly after observing ex-Fastline Shed 66304 hauling 4L85, 12:28 Doncaster Railport to Felixstowe North FLT.

The following day, we had a splendid time by the sea with a trip to Cromer.
