No Ordinary Day
The scene here is Fylde Road, the A583, in Preston, Lancashire. At 1321hrs on Monday 19 September 2022, Class 70 loco no. 70806 of Colas Rail Freight heads south on a light engine working, from Carlisle North Yard (1056hrs) to Bescot Up Engineers Sidings. This was the day of the Royal funeral, and the streets of Preston were eerily quiet.
