The 56s and the 97s are based at Coleham for the RHTT season. Coleham is a small depot outside of Shrewsbury.

Reportedly 56s only on Scottish & Carlisle RHTT diagrams this year.

Seems a bit early in the year.

The drought has resulted in a lot of trees suffering stress and they have dropped a load of leaves already.
