Not quite Driffield, but Pirdop in Bulgaria last week. Nice to see ex-BR 87004 "Britannia" still in BR blue with names attached:

And ex East German diesel traction in the shape of a 'Ludmilla':

It looks like all Bulgarians have their Personal Track Safety qualifications:

Believe it or not, next came a man with a cow...

At the moment, we're getting top + tail class 20s on Railhead Treatment Trains (RHTTs) through Driffield to Bridlington, booked for M/W/F - the first ran yesterday. I can post the planned timings if anyone requires them. They are late afternoon to Brid & early evening back.

Last Sunday's empty coaching stock going back to Carnforth behind celebrity 'spoon' 47580, taken between Arram & Beverley.

47760 was on the rear, nicely camouflaged in WCRC maroon!

Rail Head Treatment Train time again:

20312 & 20302 through Driffield on 19 October.

Believe it or not, today's train with 37716 & 68003 was terminated at Hull rather than going to Bridlington. The reason..? It was realised that both locos were too heavy for this line...

Interesting considering the traction we have had in recent months

Indeed Ed, - apparently the '68s have an axle loading that's too high (only 4 - wheel bogies, like the '67s) & the class 37/7 is a 'heavy' 37; the ones we usually get are 37/4 or 37/6... Although I suppose the '68 on the back was the main issue.
