Description
In todays video we have DCR class 60029 seen twice heading along the west coast main line on Thursday 1st July 2021. We see the tug at Bamfurlong which is soutb of Wigan first up working the inbound ecs loco move to Ravenhead to collect the waste train wagons running around 5 minuites early slowly creeping upto the nearby signal.


In the second shot we get very lucky with the loaded train now heading south along the fast lines having been held near Bamfurlong junction on the Ince Moss curve for around 45 minuites. Freightliner 70001 was on the slows infront this isnt an issue. Another potential delay reason was typical Avanti "9M54" aka "390153" Edinburgh to London Euston decided to sit in Wigan North Western for 15 minuites creating a backlog were 66425 had to go around it through platform 1 and onto the slows before being crossed back onto the fasst after this train passsed. So you can imgaine the frustration me and fellow spoter Dave had awaiting for this train for almost an hour with the train literally 2 minuites away from us.
