68034 & 68006 at Bamfurlong - 02nd December 2023
The 68s were hauling a pair of nuclear flasks full of waste from the Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria south to Crewe and we're in fine form here despite the extremely heavy load in tow.
It was very sunny but bitterly cold with some frost on the ground which certainly is far from a preferable warm summer's evening weather for filming. Sorry for any audible breathing first time I've filmed properly after being ill recently.
