    The race is on but all bets are off! 221106 and 158901 are neck and neck on their respective lines but the Voyager will win the race easily. The class 221 is on 1O22 1105 Edinburgh to Bournemouth with the class 158 working 2R69 1345 York to Hull.

    A rare sight is a pair of Freightliner class 66 locos on a train. But the train loco, 66551 has failed and low emission 66952 has rescued it. The train is 4S15 Cottom Power Station to New Cumnock empty coal hoppers.
