69010 has been named North Norfolk Railway Poppy Line.
99001 and 99002 have been collected from Portbury Docksby 66307 and moved to the GBrF depot at Leicester.
The loaded Drax trains have now been timed through Manchester Piccadilly and Stalybridge today.
At the start of the Stockport possession, they were still going through the station.
After that they were routed from Northenden to Hazel Grove and the Hope Valley (although I suspect that was due to engineering work on the Huddersfield route).
99006 has been at Liverpool today assisting from the docks up to Edge Hill. I wonder if it will replace 69001 which has been doing banking duties for a while.
Also, could it be possible that with their 8000+ hp on electric power, they could work the outward Drax trains through Manchester Vic and up Miles Platting bank (as the return empties are routed) and potentially cutting a couple of hours of the journey and reducing the number of train sets required………..just a thought!
