70017 & 70011 Wormleighton Crossing 7 February 2023

70011 failed on 7 February 2023, whilst working the 4M55 08:23 Southampton Maritime to Lawley Street freightliner. The train was delayed for some considerable time in the Micheldever area, before 70017 was sent to assist. The pair (70017 powering and 70011 dead in tow) are pictured at Wormleighton Crossing, running 198 minutes late! Note the bank of cloud in the background. This was totally unforecast, but in the event helped soften the lighting on what would otherwise have been quite a harshly backlit picture.
