An interesting working took place over the northern section of the Cotswold Line on 31 July 2017, although because it didn't involve a locomotive, was probably ignored by most photographers! Windhoff overhead line electfrication MPVs DR98006, DR98013 & DR98002 are pictured passing Badsey with the 6Y55 09:08 Crewe to Long Marston. This is probably the closest the Cotswold Line will get to electfrication, and although the similar RHTT & weed killing MPVs have been common visitors to the Cotswold Line for a long time, this was definitely something different, and well worth recording, despite the poor weather. |
