The class 66 was working the usual afternoon Daventry to Coatbridge Tesco liner and running 10 late thanks to Avanti. This train generally is now 68 hauled with the occasional 66.
Not a clue what's the scenario regarding electrical pricing which a while back stopped multiple operators using electric freight locos under the wires.
