DRS Class 68 & 88s on the Crewe avoiding lines - 3/11/23

A video captures two DRS locomotives on the Crewe avoiding lines. The first is 88006, operating from Mossend to Daventry, followed shortly after by 68009 and 68034 working as a light engine from Carlisle to Crewe Gresty Bridge. Filmed in late 2023, the footage shows these locomotives passing along the lines that bypass Crewe station. The recording location has become more challenging due to new fencing and vegetation growth, but two DRS moves are clearly visible within a short timeframe.
