66431 With 66108 & 66125 Passes Springs Branch - 16th March 2026
The class 66 locomotives were on what should be the 6k05 Carlisle to Crewe engineers train but actually under 0k05 as running as light engine which happens on occasion. Direct Rail Services engine hauling a pair of DB Cargo locos makes for a interesting sight.

A three-locomotive convoy consisting of Class 66 diesel electric locomotives, including 66431, 66108, and 66125, was filmed passing through the Springs Branch south of Wigan. The locomotives were operating under headcode 0K05, running as a light engine rather than the scheduled engineers train 6k05 from Carlisle to Crewe. The footage captures the movement along the West Coast Main Line on what appears to be an unusual operational arrangement involving DB Schenker and Direct Rail Services.
