Marston Vale Fastline 20231111--017

56301 passes Husborne Crawley (near Ridgmont on the Marston Vale Line), working 6Z48 09.30 Wembley Receptions 1-7 - Chaddesden Sidings loaded spoil.

The HS2 spoil (inert material - soil and clay from tunnelling) was destined for Burton-upon-Trent, and the train continued after its weekend layover at Derby two days later (as 6Z41 10.58 Chaddesden Sidings - Burton-on-Trent West Yard).

This was the first time I'd photographed 56301 since it was on hire to ROG and working the Barrington spoil in November and December 2017 (and, just prior to that, on hire to BARS / Iowa Pacific-owned DCR for the Barrington spoil). It's owned by UK Rail Leasing, and is on hire to DCR (in its new incarnation, owned by the Cappagh Group). It still wears the livery of its former owner, Fastline.
