Wasn't really worth taking this, but worth the weather to see (and hear!) the loco.

55.022/D9000 Royal Scots Grey blasted out of Bristol Parkway at 22:08 bringing back memories of the ECML in the 1970s and early 80s. Happy days. <BJ>

Does anyone know why there were, what appeared to be, cables hanging around the nose of the loco on the return? <BJ>
