There was much crossing of fingers that the convoy would head to Doncaster via the Dark Side, especially as there had been a set of times for the Lickey on the previous day. Always a case of checking to see that they actually did take the Worcester line at Abbotswood Junction, which they did, following the route and times showing on RTT. Rowley was a popular station for photographers, the approaching shot wasn’t a problem, but turning round for the going away shot was not so clear.
66706 was hauling 66769, 66768, 66772, 66771, 66770, 66767 & 66766.
