Description
DC Rail Freight Class 56 Locomotive 56103 is seen Thrashing through a dark Bryn station a few miles from Wigan on the evening of Saturday 2nd November 2024.

The class 56 Locomotive was hauling the sand train from Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings at the Pilkington Glass Factory in St Helens.

Having waited at Ince Moss for a fast empty stock unit the train has to climb out of the junction and up through the station. Northern cancelling the Liverpool train and running it fast empty hurts passengers.

Late running Blackpool didn't cause us issues in the end too. A great long loud shot here ruined abit by Northerns bizarre policy of playing supposed classical soothing musical stuff to deter anti social behaviour. First time a 56 has been on this job in long time. Only a week after the clocks change is typical luck.
