60095 Honeybourne 20 March 2018

60095 slowly approaches Honeybourne on 20 March 2018 with the 6Z57 16:00 Long Marston to Toton empty oil tanks. After 60095 had arrived a little earlier with the 6Z56 09:30 Colas Ribble Rail (Preston) to Long Marston, the original plan was for the loco to stay at Long Marston overnight, and then work this train the next morning as the 6Z57 06:40 Long Marston to Lindsey Oil Refinery. However, the welcome decision to send the loco back the same day meant I was able to get two shots for the price of one, albeit with a long wait in between. This was already running over an hour late, but luckily it approached Honeybourne just as the setting sun approached a small gap in the otherwise more or less solid cloud. This was just enough to give a hint of brightness to the image.
