This week a DRS class 66 has been working 05.55 ex York via Dewsbury and Huddersfield into platform 1 at Victoria,thence lays over for an hour or so at Brewery Junction loop.Returns via Victoria and same route as outward journey to York.Looks to be a route learner ..??Loco is fitted with cameras as shown on attached

Very interesting..thanks for the info.Remember sometime last year a West Coast Rail class 37 with similar camera set up running on lines around Manchester...this must be a regular procedure.Ta.
