Burton-on-Trent double-headed freight

[feldom76]

My mate Steve was at Burton last Thursday (8/8/2013) at about 4pm and saw a north-bound freight pulled by two 67s. It seemed to be made up of "cargowaggens".
Where is it from and to? Is it a usual working? Any other info please.

Thanks Mike

My guess would be the two 67s that transferred a new Southern class 377 down South, the wagons will be barrier wagons. Returning to Litchurch Lane to collect next one.

YorkshireBear is spot on!

Ran as 6D01 Bescot to Litchurch Lane.

Glad I found this thread I filmed it on the footbridge just east of the station, me and my mate saw it and thought it was rather peculiar, the 377 moves sound interesting though!

originally while me and my buddy were on the bridge another two spotters said that they thought it was a rolls royce working which runs once every blue moon?!
