Description
See 66086 held up in Salop Sidings south of Stafford with a wheel skate fitted after failing on 0A06 with 66206 yesterday - 66056 was sent to help move the stricken loco off the slow line junction north of Stafford.

Also seen is 68006 on a test run with 88004, 66743 in Belmond colours on an intermodal and a very brave chap with a 3 metre carbon selfie stick under the wires - If you're reading this, be very careful with that thing. I have one for my Insta camera also and wouldn't consider using it near overhead wires.
