A Rare Visitor
For several weeks in the summer of 2024 DCR hired GBRf's 60096 to cover a shortage of motive power. The loco spent most of the time working out of Derby and only came south for a couple of days to work a two trips taking spent ballast from Westbury to Willesden. The loco, still in Colas colours, approached Little Bedwyn with 6M16, the 17:23 Westbury Down Yard to Willesden DCR, on 12 August 2024.
