| Spent a good day at Rugby on Thursday 28th June, about a year after my last visit. The DRS 37s on a Serco test train and the GBRf stock move were both pleasant surprises. Seeing 3 of Freightliner's latest batch of 66s was good too - 66588-590 were all only delivered in April.
This was also the day when it was announced that EWS had been bought by DB - could the EWS livery be in line for an update? This is the first set of photos from that day, a second set will follow later in order to keep the collections a reasonable size. |
