A 66 and two 40s at Searchlight Lane 21 July 2020

My first video since the Covid 19 lockdown sees a rare mainline class 40 working.
40145 was employed to move a class 37 from Barrow Hill to Kidderminster SVR then pick up 40106 from there to Crewe, then the following day to the East Lancs Railway.
The 40s had a half hour wait at Stafford to allow a DB Cargo working to go ahead of it, and that is seen in the video prior to the passage of the 40s.
Thanks must go to Brian (UA-camr SYKAROST) for the gen about the 40s.

Good to see some Class 40s back on the mainline, nicely captured.

Yes, it takes me back more years than I care to remember! Thanks for your comment. Cheers, Rob

Glad you managed to get them Rob, it's still a good view from there and it's still the BR green for me... cheers, Brian.

Yes, it will be a while before the vegetation causes problems by the look of it. Agreed about the green 'un. Classic livery! Cheers, Rob
