WCML Freight Monday (19th)

[6Gman]

Had a run up to Euston (and back!) on Monday, and was struck by how much freight was about.

At about 14.50 passed a northbound Test Train (?) which appeared to be a DRS 37, various NR yellow coaches and something red on the back! Anybody identify the working and what was working it?

At around 20.25 EWS-liveried 66 on southbound vehicles near Hanslope. Anybody id the loco?

Then, just north of Rugby at around 20.35 :- 4 trains

FL 70 northbound I/modal
FL 66 northbound I/modal
2xDRS 57s on southbound ballast
FL 66 southbound I/modal

all in the space of a couple of miles - anybosdy id workings/ locos.

Finally, c.2052 FL 66 at Rugeley PS. id?

TIA

On Friday (16/05), 67027, 3 NR coaches and NR DVT 82111 worked 1Z19 Derby RTC to London Euston. Unfortunately (with 82111 at the north of the consist), the DVT failed and so the return leg was cancelled. 67027, the 3 coaches and 82111 sat at Euston all weekend.

It was hoped to get an ED to rescue over the weekend, but that never came to anything so 37425 was sourced. It went Light to Euston and then, as 1Z19, took the consist up to Lichfield where the 67 took the 3 coaches and 82 back to Derby.

Sorry I can't answer the rest
