Only Just . . .
GBRf's 60026 spent a short period on hire to DCR at the end of June 2025 and obligingly worked 6D59, a 15:16 Humberstone Road to Chaddesden empties on 30 June 2025. The weather gods obviously didn't approve and sent a cloud to intercept the train at Barrow-upon-Soar, requiring a rapid change of focal length to save the day.
