Disappointingly Diesel
68017 passed Lowgill with 4M27, the 05:33 Coatbridge DRS to Daventry IRFT intermodal , on 19 March 2025. I'd hoped for a class 88 but using electric locos under the wires seems to have gone out of fashion, even where the locos are available and the route is electrified throughout.
