66116 has reappeared still running light as 0G82 Knottingley to Doncaster Carr Loco. The cab is full of people and may be a route learning trip.
All station signals are red and the job has been stopped as this arse walks along the down slow having jumped onto the tracks after he assaulted a female member of staff on the front concourse. His mother will be so proud of him.
He walked up and down the lines a few times before scaling the fence into the Wabtec yard. He was later caught and charged with assault and the fashion offence of tucking his tracky bottoms into his sports socks. Twat!!

Hull Trains Pioneer unit 222104 pauses at Doncaster during its journey from Kings Cross to Hull, 1H05 1335 off the capital.

60025 has been a busy type 5 this day. It has been to Adwick and is now heading for Scunthorpe with 6D88 1439 from Goole Docks. I don't think the loco has worked from Goole though.
