Description
Join me on board 66156 on this two and a half hour journey from Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) to Ditton Foundry Lane via the likes of Rugby, Stafford, Crewe Basford Hall and the iconic Runcorn Bridge.

This train was 6M13, formed of only 5 wagons, so was very light and quickly reached its maximum speed of 60mph. Filmed on 04/05/2022.

Unfortunately due to technical issues I was unable to include the live speedometer in this video, but I hope you enjoy the excellent quality of the new GoPro 10 Black - far superior to my old 4 silver!
