Direct Rail Services class 68/0 No. #68013 "Peter Wreford-Bush" wearing Chiltern Railways colours is seen idling in Appleby North East Sidings this afternoon whilst working 6K05 1229 Carlisle New Yard to Crewe Basford Hall SSM. The loco was experiencing power issues whilst hauling this long train and upon arrival in Appleby the decision was made to set back into the sidings to keep the mainline clear and operational. The train was then shortened leaving some wagons in the sidings and shortly after these photos were taken the shortened train continued on its journey south to Crewe. #trainspotting #lineside #station #train #diesel #DirectRailServices #Class68
