IET Drag
Still looking very clean and shiny, GBRf's latest Class 66, 66315, departed Reading on 6 February 2025 with LNER's 801205 in tow. The IET had started its day at Doncaster Carr IET Depot before running under its own power to Ferme Park as 5Q01 then continuing to Reading behind the 66 as 5Q02. It's seen here departing as 5X02, the 17:15 to Eastleigh Works. LNER IETs have regularly run to Eastleigh under their own power so the use of a Class 66 on this working was unusual.
