Gronk on the M1

[alexl92]

At 15:45 this evening a Class 08 or 09 on a lorry passed Junction 41 (Wakefield/Tingley/Morley; Carr Gate) of the M1, heading northbound. It was in shabby BR engineering grey livery; anyone know which it was and where it was going?

I did think I'd seen a '2' in the number so that sounds about right. Where would it be heading to?

It’s heading to Newton Aycliffe according to wnxx.

I’m waiting for the usual “why couldn’t it go by rail” complaint.

Do they send shunters by rail anymore?

Must be the fastest that little shunter has ever travelled!

Chasewater railway

If so, it's managed to go about 110 miles too far up the M1 - Chasewater is in Staffordshire, so should have turned off the M1 somewhere in Northamptonshire!

Nevermind, it’s shown as being at Hitachi Newton aycliffe now
