66075, 14.05 DIRFT-Dollands Moor (6O67), Victoria bridge And, so we reach the last picture of 2016, and it's an old favourite. 66075 leads the 14.05 Daventry Railfreight Terminal to Dollands Moor empty cargo wagon train. This will then travel through the Channel Tunnel back to Europe to be loaded with more plastic bottles of spring water to be brought back to the UK. This is as if we don't have enough water of our own out of the taps! A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY READERS. HERE'S TO SOME GREAT TRIPS OUT IN IN 2017!
