A variety of wagons on 6K05, which makes for some interest. It's also a fairly lengthy train so even if I positioned myself elsewhere you'd have struggled to see the rear!

#DirectRailServices 66427 is at the helm of it this time, seen arriving in Carlisle. #freightfriday #shedwatch

Direct Rail Services liveried 66434 occupies the sidings at York on 31/03/25. It’s just a shed, but it’s a loco, and to be honest, I’ll take that over the rest of the junk!
