68019 at Wigan North Western - 22nd January 2025
The class 68 was working a light engine move from Crewe to Carlisle and was running 2 late here having made up time from a delay at Crewe.
This locomotive was previously hired to Trans Pennine Express and there Nova trains fleet which didn't last long at all. I believe this current livery between ScotRail and Driver Rail Services. Which I do like. I believe this was a drivers first pass out drive too.
Here is 68019 thundering through Bamfurlong in the TPE livery which is absolutely stunning and the sound is spectacular too.
