Many thanks Alan.
Last day of 2018 saw a Colas Rail Freight class 70 used to recover a failed tamper, 70806 had been at Tavistock Junction over the Christmas period following an exam and was summoned to collect Colas Rail tamper DR73935 from Taunton which had failed with gearbox problems. Here 70806 is seen at Bristol Temple Meads hauling DR73935 running as 6Z42 to Rugby for repair - Copyright Alan Peters
