I thought I was going to miss a shot of 60099 at Derby this morning. It was at the exit to Chaddesden Sidings about 30 minutes early, so I expected it to follow the Meridian down to Long Eaton. But the Class 222, got delayed 30 minutes due to an issue. On the adjacent platform, 810011 failed with a door problem, so 60099 came out on time. I do think it looks smart, almost brand new . (Well for those if us that remember them new).
