Description

This is a rare chance to travel with the driver of First GBRF 66714 onboard 6H93 as it travels from Tyne Dock to Drax along a contrasting route featuring freight only lines, during typical Autumn 2008 weather.

The interesting journey that is filmed in real time without commentary but with the benefit of captions starts at Tyne Dock to Gateshead then south on the ECML to Ferryhill.

Here we take the freight only line to Norton South Junction and then through Stockton and Eaglescliffe before re-joining the ECML at Northallerton.

Then down the ECML through York to Colton Junction, then branching to Milford sidings and Knottingley before finally passing under the ECML and on to Drax Power Station.

Filmed in real time without commentary but with the benefit of key location captions.
