66794 was released from Eastleigh to Doncaster overnight in a similar distinctive livery. These 2 are lower geared examples (Similar to a 66/6) so makes sense to have them both look the same.

Observed on Doncaster Roberts Road at the weekend was 66797 sporting a fresh look Beacon Blue with Yellow GBRf logos.

66715 and 66723 have brought barrier vehicles over to Tuebrook to take 777002 to Long Marston in the Morning for Rail Live;
