Description
Starting at Newport with 67003/66135 we have a window view on arrival at Rugby where we change locos for 92009/56117. Misty morning but plenty of traction to be seen. Next stop/slowdown through Crewe coal yard and freight sidings. Final part of the first stage takes us through Arpley sidings at Warrington, under the West Coast Mainline and head off to Fiddlers Ferry in past 2. Enjoy the window views and running alongside some of the other traffic.
