66126, 13.51 DIRFT-Ripple Lane FLT (4L48, 13L), Roade cutting
Direct Rail Services has been hiring in extra locomotives to
cover its flows. The 13.51 Daventry to Purfleet (terminated at Ripple Lane) is hauled by an ex EWS (now DB) 66126. It is believed that DRS is going to rebrand the locomotives that it has acquired but how far it will go with this is still yet to be seen. The train is seen labouring at a very slow speed up the 1:200 gradient from Northampton through Roade cutting.
