Stock ran tonight as 5M61 Eastleigh Arlington - Wembley Eur Frt Ops Cntre.
Saw it through Platform 8 at Reading around 22:30 with a DB 66 in charge.

That isn't actually shown as a freight train, the 95mph gives that away. Its timing load is 95-47455 more than likely, so based on a 47 with 13 on the back.

It was shown as a freight last night at the time of posting though. While the timing load might have been the same the train title was:

FRGT 0715 Wembley Eur Frt Ops Cntre to London Kings Cross

I think the "FRGT" bit might have led to the query being raised.
