Bit of excitement today, couple of Freightliner coal trains. A banker, 66596, was sent north to Stourbridge to wait for & to assist 2 trains. The first, 6M55, was hauled by 66528 & left Stourbridge about 11am. The second train, 6M61, was hauled by 66527 & probably left Stourbridge about 12.30. I saw both the trains pass through Old Hill.

I had hoped to see a 70 up this way in daylight, but no luck yet. They have always been booked through in the early hours, and should be gone before it is light, but I believe a few problems have severely delayed the train on a couple of occasions & had I known could have possibly managed some photos.
