Loco Change with PROPER Traction at the head of the Britannic Explorer!
See 66748 arriving from Llandrindod, with the Class 97's closely following to couple up with the generator coach to take the service back out towards Sutton Bridge Jct.
The couple of coaches I looked through the window of, appeared to be a mess inside - Not sure what was going on there however the presentation of the train wasn't as sharp as I was expecting for such an expensive operation.

This video captures a loco change at Shrewsbury for the Britannic Explorer service. The Network Rail/Colas Class 97 locomotives take over from 66748, which arrives from Llandrindod. The Class 97s couple with the generator coach to continue the service towards Sutton Bridge Jct. The video also shows some interior views of the train, though the presentation appears less polished than expected for such an operation.
