On arrival at Staylbridge station Andy I were greeted by the sight of three TransPennine Express branded class 68s undertaking a test run from York's Siemens dept to Longsight running as 0M68. With the crew standing chatting on the platform, 68023 'Achilles', 68027 and 68021 'Tireless' wait at platform three. Notice the ridiculous and unmanaged growth of scrub in between the running lines. Imagine what this will look like next spring and summer when the full growth takes place.
