66705 'Golden Jubilee' passes an early morning and dull Victoria Bridge just south of Roade on the WCML leading the 4M21 03.15 Felixstowe to Trafford Park Freightliner. Delivered in 2001 it was in service by 2002 and was named to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in June of that year. At that time it also carried a large union jack on both sides. The locomotive was unveiled on 20th June 2002 at Retford (of all places!) when it took over the 'The Spinnin' State III' railtour.
