12th December 2014
Network Rail's HOBC set based at Fairwater Yard has exclusively been hauled by Class 66 locomotives since its arrival in 2006. Owing to the failure of No.66510 on the night of the 11th December, 6Y07 17:33 Fairwater Yard - Grateley was hauled solo by No.66620 to Westbury. Once at Westbury a replacement second locomotive was hired in from Colas Rail Freight. Class 70/8 No.70807 became the first Class 70 to haul the Network Rail HOBC set. The locomotive is seen arriving back into Fairwater Yard hauling the 6Y07 04:00 Basingstoke - Fairwater on the 12th of December 2014. Photo was taken with permission by trained & qualified personnel.
