60055 at Springs Branch - 23rd May 2025
The class 60 was working the first return trip of what is believed to be a brand new aggregates service running from Leyland near Preston to Chaddesden at Derby via a reversal at Preston.
The train had hauled the 22 JNA - T boxes of stone. from Penmaenmawr Quarry (Fhh) to Leyland B Leyland who are run by Foxes group the previous afternoon.
No real idea how regular this flow is or set to be. Not often you see these locos go north of Wigan with an already regular weekly train to St Helens in operation.
