Direct Rail Services Loco Hauled Intermodal Diversions January 2025
A few times every year, freight trains will get diverted from the West Coast Main Line to the East Coast Main Line, usually DRS intermodals.
Here I have captured a number of clips of the DRS workings over the course of two weekends, featuring class 66s, 68s and 88s.
88008 + 68034 4Z48 Coatbridge - Daventry (Chesterfield)
68034 4Z27 Coatbridge - Daventry (Askham Bar)
88004 + 68016 4Z43 Daventry - Coatbridge (York)
68001 4Z44 Daventry - Coatbridge (Church Fenton)
68034 (NOT 001 as on captions) 4Z45 Daventry - Coatbridge (York)
