Description
A couple of hours at Mexborough on Friday 21 August 2026. The initial schedule looked promising, then it seemed a lot of freight trains wouldn’t run, but in the end there was enough of interest and as usual a surprise!

00:00 GBRf 66715 'Valour IN MEMORY OF ALL RAILWAY EMPLOYEES WHO GAVE’ running 20 minutes late with the 4E00 London Gateway to Tinsley.
02:27 GBRf 66311 and 66732 running as the 6X01 according to Railcam, except the weren’t pulling any wagons, and started at Doncaster instead of Scunthorpe to head to Eastleigh.
02:54 Heavy Haul 66545 with the 6M73 Doncaster Up Decoy Yard to Toton running 20 minutes late.
03:57 66720 ‘Wascosa' hauls the 4L11 Masborough to Felixstowe North.
04:48 DB 66186 ‘Antony Slater’ on the 0M54 Doncaster Belmont to Toton.
05:48 The surprise of the day (I was expecting class 37’s on a network rail working). Class 153 (Visual Inspection Unit) 153384 on the 2Q64 Derby RTC to Derby RTC heads for Doncaster and then returns. This is the first 153 that I have filmed on this stretch of track.
07:11 66514 has charge of the 4L73 Tinsley to London Gateway.
00:14. Heavy Haul class 70 70015 takes the Swinton route with the 6M06 Maltby Colliery to Earles Sidings spoil train.
