Description
Leicester absolutely packed with action! 🚆🔥

This busy session filmed at Leicester station on 23rd April 2026 (07:00–14:00) captures a fantastic mix of passenger, freight and rare movements.

Featuring Class 66 freight, Class 37 and 56 locos, Class 222s, 158s, 170s, Class 67 workings, plus the new Aurora Class 810 units.

There’s also departmental movements and a rare sight — a Class 220 Voyager working a Birmingham New Street–Leicester–Birmingham service, something not usually seen on this route.
