DRS '20s' make a rare visit to South Wales...
With the DRS Tesco contract between Daventry and Wentloog starting next week. For the past few weeks, DRS have used various locomotives for route learning to South Wales. These have included classes 37s, 47s, 57s and 66s. By far the rarest for South Wales occurred on the 17th February 2012, when 20309 and 20308 worked an 0Z30 Crewe Gresty Bridge to Cardiff Central and 0Z31 Cardiff Central to Crewe Gresty Bridge route learner via the marches. The Choppers terminated at Wentloog instead of running light into Cardiff. Left: 20309 leads 20308 working as the 0Z30 Crewe to Wentloog at Maindee West junction, Newport. The 0Z31 return is photographed at Ponthir with 20308 leading.
