70014, 12.24 Southampton MCT-Trafford Park (4M61, 2E), Didcot station A light pan. photograph (taken at 1/320th sec) shows 70014 leading the 12.24 Southampton to Trafford Park Freightliner passing Didcot on the avoiding line. The Class 70s will never win any prizes in the locomotive beauty parade (from any particular angle!) but they have proved to be, after the inevitable teething problems, to be reliable and competent in operation. I always make a point of photographing them when on my railway travels as they rarely put in appearances close to home on the WCML.
