Great video Dave. Nice to catch Freightliner 90s on intermodal 👍

[@berksandhantsfreight]

Thanks Arnold,yes they do look good in the Freightliner orange livery and good to see them as last time i visited the area they’d been pulled due to the high costs of electric.Cheers Dave👍

Nice to see some 90’s working, as well as the workhorse 66’s out in Suffolk. Great weather and good locations once again Dave. Heading out that way in few weeks to see a customer of mine in Great Yarmouth, hoping to catch some freight traffic on the way up from Liverpool St.

Thanks David,yes always a bonus to see the 90’s working,they do look good in FL orange😎Have a good trip to G.Yarmouth & you should get to see some freight along the route.I do like the new Stadler GA units, comfortable,clean & fresh👍Cheers Dave

I would tick that as a great first day for you Dave, getting the 90s on L89 & M63 can be hit or miss these days as L41 was a shed on that day. Then that move to Stowmarket proved to be a good move with that incident on the branch as you got some nice slow moves through there, oh yes that lad on the other platform when the first freight you filmed was there when I went in April. Looking forward to your next day Mike.

It was a good 1st days filming & happy to get any 90 workings as last time i was there they weren't working at all due to the energy crisis & the high cost of electric.The freiendly locals were out in force at Stowmarket to get the DRS move & the failed North Walsham tanks.Cheers Dave

Great video Dave :)

[@berksandhantsfreight]

Many thanks Simon👍

Top video Dave and 3 great locations on the GEML. Well done catching the 8Z57. I was tempted to go out and film it but it would have been dark by the time it got to me so I passed the opportunity. GBRf are taking over the RHTT operations at Stowmarket so DRS had to get that 57 moved before we move in just before autumn. Sorry I couldn't come out to see you last week at PBO. It was to busy in the office and I couldn't catch a break. Hopefully catch up soon. All the best. Ben

[@berksandhantsfreight]

Thanks Ben,All in all not a bad 1st days filming.Yes I did read that DRS were pulling out,shame no 37’s anymore.Good to catch the 57 being dragged to Worksop & the 66 on the tanks.No probs with PB it was always a long shot anyway.Cheers Dave

Too many trams up that way, but pairs of 90s are the future of rail freight!

[@berksandhantsfreight]

Always nice to see a pair of 90’s working😎👍🏼

@@berksandhantsfreight Yup, nothing wrong with a 66, especially a low-emission 66/9, but not under the wires, eg, GE main line! Heavily-used freight routes, eg, Felixstowe to Ipswich, Ely and beyond, need to be wired up.
