66623 'Bill Bolsover' leads the absolutely huge Network Rail 'drain train' through Roade cutting at almost walking pace! Assisting on the rear, out of sight due to the length of the train, is 66523. The so called 'drain train' is composed of high output ballast cleaner (HBOC) units that Network Rail has recently invested fifty million pounds in! This gargantuan train, running as 6Y15, left High Oaks Junction (Rugby) at 08.45 and is making its way very slowly to the Willesden Eurotunnel terminal.
