Celebrity "Skodas"! This train almost caught me out, passing, as it did, 45 minutes early! At 09.45 DB Cargo "celebrity duo" Class 90s nos. 90039 "The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport" - wearing the DB "Backbone" livery - and 90024 - in its DB "Malcolm" livery - surprise me as they emerge from under the M6 at Shap Beck with their southbound intermodal working. This is the 4M25 07.06 Mossend Euroterminal to Daventry Int Rft Recep (RFD). I'm glad that I was ready and prepared, like all good former Boy Scouts!
