With 16 Mk1 coaches in tow, 66084 & 66020 pass Kings Sutton on 7 January 2022 with the 5Z45 09:40 Eastleigh Arlington to Burton upon Trent Wetmore Sidings ECS. This load should be no problem for a pair of 66s, but they still seemed to be recovering from a signal check at Aynho Junction, 3 miles away. I think this is the only time that I have been to this well known spot and been the only photographer present. Admittedly the weather was grim, but I would have thought the novelty of a pair of red DB 66s on such a long train would have attracted some photographers. |
