Is this a new freight run or are they just taking over from another freight operator?

Long established freight turn. Currently run by Gbrf with Class 66 but it is reported that DRS intend to use Class 88s. This will be an impressive sight.

The intended use of 88s will no longer be happening due to complications regarding gauging within the Garston facility.
