Ventured out to catch A pair of Tractors & Grids at Acton Bridge but got stuck in traffic on the M56.
Managed to get the Class 37’s at Acton Bridge as they were stopped at Warrington Bank Quay. Unfortunately missed the Class 56’s so went to Chester after they ran round at Crewe. Rare to see double headed grids never mind a pair of tractors !!!
