66305, 14.06 Birch Coppice-London Gateway (4L68, RT), Roade cutting 
 66305 has led a varied and interesting history. It was ordered as one of five by Fastline (now owned by Jarvis) back in 2008. Jarvis went into administration in 2010 taking the Fastline name with them. The five Class 66s were subsequently acquired by DRS who painted them into their 'basic' blue livery. In 2022 GBRf then took on the five locomotives (66301-66305) leasing them from Beacon Rail but it has taken some time for them to be re-livereid and, in some cases, named. In its sparkling new paint, 66305 now named 'Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway', passes Roade leading the 14.06 Birch Coppice to London Gateway afternoon service. The locomotive was named in a ceremony earlier this month at the heritage line, there is a post covering this event on their Facebook page, see... https://www.facebook.com/embsayrailway
