Piggy In The Middle
66596 was marshalled in the middle of 7C64, the 14:46 Wembley Yard to Merehead stone empties, on 15 June 2022. The operational advantages of this practice are shrouded in mystery but it seemed to be the norm for a period of several months when two sets of Mendip stone empties were combined at Wembley and has been used on occasion since.
