The 0700- 0800 local turns
The rapidly darkening mornings have just about killed off photting our popular
0700 – 0800 local session. However tonights clocks back as we revert to GMT, will
allow for around 2 weeks, the 0700 – 0800 turn to be photable, locally once more.
Passing times 0700 – 0800 at Leighton selected traffic
0712 1M16 2045 Inverness/Fort William – Euston “Caledonian sleeper” 92
0716 2N10 0650 Northampton – Euston 319 units
0716 4M21 0310 Felixstowe – Trafford Pk 66’7
0731 4M45 0250 Felixstowe – Garston liner 86 x 2
0750 4L89 2133 Coatbridge – Felixstowe “Up Scotch” liners 86 x 2
0800 2B24 0753 Bletchley – Euston 319 units
0803 4M46 0300 Felixstowe – East Mids Gateway 66’5
Considering there are currently only 11 operable Freightliner 86’6 to see 4 on a
a regular basis is quite something in 2020
