$66301, 10.58 DIRFT-Purfleet (via Weedon) (4L48), Blisworth I was hoping that the Class 66 would have fitted in between the wiring posts and if I had pressed the shutter a fraction earlier it may have done so....? 66301 leads the diverted SuO 4L48 10.58 Daventry to Purfleet Tesco Express. This train's journey started from the railfreight terminal heading north the short distance to Rugby.
