The second Colas Rail operation within a few minutes passes Water Orton station. With the Class 37 Cardiff Central to Derby test train having swept through 56113 leads 70802 as the 0Z75 08.30 Bescot to Doncaster Works light engine move. I am not sure as to why the Class 70 was being towed to Doncaster, perhaps it was part of a strategic move or if it was going for some sort of repair or other attention? Either way, it was good to see a locomotive dating from 1982 leading one over thirty years its junior!
