It was preparing to assist with the delivery of Pendolino coaches through the Channel Tunnel but faced issues that required a 66-class locomotive to take over the task on 1 November. The footage also shows a unique train formation including DBS 66, 56087, two Pendolino coaches, and barrier wagons operating under headcode 6X39.
