66761 & 66706, 14.18 Trafford Park-Felixstowe North (4L18, 2L), site of Roade station
On the way back from buying some provisions I thought
I would wait ten minutes for the 4L18 14.18 Trafford Park to Felixstowe Freightliner service. I am glad I did as it was double-headed by two matching and named GBRf Class 66s that look grand in the afternoon sunshine. 66761 'Wensleydale Railway Association 25 Years 1990-2015' and 66706 'Nene Valley' lead the train past the site of Roade station. I wondered if the second Class 66 had failed but both were firmly under power as they headed south.
