Tesco's container train through Shrub Hill

Post by TimBrown » 11:33 Wednesday 1st November 2023

This morning, Wednesday 1 November 2023, the Tesco's container train from Wentloog (just west of Newport), South Wales to Daventry Distribution Centre, ran through Worcester Shrub Hill platform 1 at 07-23 with DRS 66031 hauling dead 66426. Just enough early morning light to photograph it, which is not normally possible as it is usually pathed through Worcester yard around 04-15 AM or thereabouts.
