30th November 2014
Colas Rail Freight provided a second colourful freight train just minutes behind the Network Rail HOBC set on the 30th of November 2014. Class 66/8 No.66847(formerly Freightliner 66574) passes Creech St Michael with a mixture of MHA/ MTA loaded ballast wagons in tow. The 6C27 12:08 Westbury - Plymouth operated in connection with weekend engineering work in Cornwall which had already seen four Class 70's from Colas pass through Taunton during Saturday, along with a milestone working of a Freightliner Class 70 (No.70010) which operated between Cardiff and Exeter Riverside before returning light engine. This was the first recorded working of a Freightliner Class 70 west of Bristol since their delivery to the UK.
