Hardley Distant
CURRENT: D8107 (20107) 'Jocelyn Brown 1940-2020' (Nearest Camera - 1st Photo) and D8096 (20096) stand in the Bay Platform at Chester Station today having just arrived with the 0D43 13:00 Crewe Holding Sidings to Chester Light Engine movement operated by Locomotive Services Limited. The pair would later return to Crewe as the 0K44 15:11 Chester to Crewe Holding Sidings. Earlier in the day 20118 'Saltburn-by-the-Sea' and 20132 had made the same Crewe to Chester run but appeared to hit trouble on approach to Chester which then saw D6851 (37667) 'FLOPSIE' sent out from Crewe to Chester to rescue them and return them to Crewe. It can only be assumed that this pair had been earmarked to work another return journey but due the failure 20096 and 20107 were sent instead. #trainspotting #lineside #Class20 #LightEngine
