Capturing An Unusual Sight

            A combination of Crewe town-centre traffic and the PSB being unusually keen meant this was all I managed of what I believe was a first away from the Tunnel/HS1 - a combination of GB Railfreight Class 92s and a DB Cargo Class 92 on the same loco move.

It'll count as a record shot at least - and looks like many others were there during the half-term holidays to capture it too!

GB Railfreight's 92028 was leading 0Z45 1332 Crewe Electric Traction Maintenance Depot to Wembley Inter City Depot, with GBRf's 92044 "Couperin" and DB's 92041 "Vaughan Williams" in tow.

The original plan was for 92028 - after a visit to the lathe - and 92044 - after its annual TVM430 recertification - to run back to Wembley together.  However, some joined-up thinking and common sense between the DB and GBRf controllers saw 92041 tag along for the ride so it too could return south after a C Exam and repairs.
