A few hours on York station today....

-
After a break of a few days the TPE class 68s are back although they did not seem to be doing their usual trips to Scarborough. 




The Colas engineers' train was hauled by the usual class 70 even though the load was very light.



The daily rubbish train was headed by one of DB's newly repainted class 66s. MARITIME is a container company... but not the one which deals with the rubbish containers.



It seems that East Midlands are still hiring their power cars to LNER...
... and of course there was the usual Thursday steam excursion to Scarborough. 
Ex-LMS Jubilee class no. 45699 named "Galatea" seen here travelling from NRM to Holgate sidings to collect the train.

DRS have tried to bring a bit more style back into its locomotive designs with the new class 68 locos. I found 68002 standing at York Station in the spot where we usually find two 1957 vintage class 20s. 68002 is named INTREPID. 68002 stands alongside the snow plough in York station. The loco stands next to the new signalling centre.
