    This unit, 153317, has been running about for a couple of days and I'm convinced it is on route learning duties. Here it arrived at Selby and sat at the south end of the station briefly before setting off back towards York.
    A low position on the down platform sees 156498 pass below the control cabin high on top of the swing bridge. The unit is employed on 2R66 1506 Hull to York.
    After the station work is complete, the driver takes 156498 away from the station passing the long platforms which now sees very few feet down that end.
