Diverted & Usual Freight Trains at Gloucester | Severn Tunnel Closure Bring Extra Trains!!
Today, I capture the action as Class 70 locomotive 70002 powers through Gloucester Station en route to the Wentloog Freightliner Terminal. The Severn Tunnel blockade has rerouted several freight services, giving us a rare chance to see these impressive trains passing through this historic station.
🔧 The Severn Tunnel engineering blockade means that heavy freight traffic is being rerouted via Gloucester, offering a unique opportunity to see Class 70s and other interesting traction on their way to South Wales.
🌟 Whether you’re a railway enthusiast or just curious about the impact of engineering works on the UK rail network, this video captures the sights and sounds of diverted freight at its best!
