2 hours at Mexborough included classes 88, 68 and 37.
00:00 TransPennine 185121 and 185125 with the 1B72 Liverpool Lime Street to Cleethorpes.
00:23 Northern 170455 with the 1J44 Scarborough to Sheffield.
01:17 150274 forms the 2R24 Sheffield to Adwick shuttle.
02:18 Freightliner 66534 takes the Roundwood chord on the supposed 6M73, but the lack of anything being pulled did not agree with the listing.
03:09 a X-Country Voyager on the 1E85 Southampton to Newcastle.
03:42 GBRf 66767 brings the 4L11 Masborough to Felixstowe round from the junction at Swinton.
04:23 The main attraction. DRS 88009 and 68005 take the Roundwood chord with the 4M27 Coatbridge to Daventry. These locos cannot be termed as quiet and the engine vibrations caused the camera to struggle to focus!
