DB Cargo operated a revised RHTT schedule on Sunday 6th November 2022. Owing to various crewing and operational issued surrounding the recent strike action then normal trip to Salisbury on a Saturday did not operate (instead the Swindon RHTT set formed of Colas Class 56 locomotives, did operate to Exeter overnight). Sunday 6th November 2022 provided the rare opportunity to capture the north end DB Cargo cherry red locomotive leading the RHTT set. The normal northbound RHTT duty normally passing Taunton under the cover of darkness. Class 66 No.66069 leading No.66129 pass Norton Fitzwarren while operating 3J12 10:15 St Blazey - Westbury via Crediton.
