Description
GBRf Class 66 locomotives 66312 leading with 66741 at the rear make an unusual sighting heading north along the west coast main line and through Springs Branch on Thursday 14th August 2025.

The class 66 locomotives were working the usual Avonmouth to Clitheroe cement train. 66312 + 66751 ran to Bristol East Depot before 66312 + 66741 to Clitheroe took control north.

Rare allocation of a pair of 66s on this job. I would imagine it's down to some engineering works or shunting availability.
