Class 56s? Hope Valley Line 17/7/12

[Tom1992]

Hi All,

This is my first post so hope it's in the right section. Travelling on the 11:19 to Sheffield from Chinley yesterday morning, saw what I presumed to be 2 grey 56s working in the opposite direction between Hope and Bamford with a rake of open box wagons. Would have been about 11:35am.

May be wrong but anyone have any info on the working/loco numbers?

Thanks.

Tom

Those two beasts would've been 56311 & 56312 working a rake of empty stone wagons to Peak Forest for what I believe is a new contract with Cemex. After loading up they worked the train through to Attercliffe.
