68008 & 88005 at Springs Branch - 30th July 2024
The locos were working the regular Sellafield to Crewe flasks train running a touch early here in fine form. This did run very early to Preston to be held as ever.
This is probably my favourite working to film. Top and tailed trains seem more regular too on this job.
