After being disappointed with our quest to capture an HST on their last day of operation Andy and I headed for Water Orton to photograph some freight. On arrival 66503 ‘The Railway Magazine Celebrating 125 years, 1897-2022’ appeared leading the 09.32 Wembley Yard to Hams Hall Freightliner. The 4M41 normally originates from London Gateway so I am unsure as to why today it was starting from Wembley. This is my first photograph of 66503 since its rededication on 09.08.23 where the ‘Celebrating 125 years, 1897-2022’ plate was added in a ceremony at Freightliner’s Midland Road depot in Leeds. After this freight had passed it started to rain and a quick look at RTT revealed little more for some time; the day was not improving!
