4E49 Daventry - Doncaster IPort today (27/01/26)

[Railwaycat]

Anyone know what was working this today? I heard it at Alfreton, but couldn't see it - definitely wasn't a 66, so I assume it was a 68 (very loud and working hard) running 30 min late.

Thanks Dan - do you know if this will become a regular 68 turn (if it does I might just have to get my camera out!)?

Not sure if it’s going to be a regular thing to have the 68 on this working but already showing as allocated on 4E49 again for today

Yes, I was some distance away but I think I heard it. Did some bird practice with my new camera today, so tomorrow I'll give it a go (probably be back to a 66...)
