Description
GB Railfreight’s latest class 69 to be released for traffic, 69016 has been painted in a special, rather eye catching police livery. To mark the important relationship between the rail industry and the BTP, 69016 (with 73128 in tow) visited Waterloo for a naming ceremony to become ‘British Transport Police’.

Before to it’s rebuild, 69016 was originally 56097.

I also managed to capture the return working to Eastleigh Works at Clapham Junction with 73128 leading, which in Network SouthEast livery, was a nice extra bonus.
