At 15.00 the 6S70 10.32 Wembley to Mossend "Connectrail" intermodal service approaches Warrington Bank Quay on the WCML. It's hauled by RfD-liveried 90126 "Crewe International Electric Traction Depot" and today the train can't have been that profitable as it comprised just three intermodal flat wagons, and they were all empty if I remember correctly.

"Connectrail" was Railfreight Distribution's intermodal equivalent of a wagon load service, similar to Trainsrail's "Entertprise" service, with which it was integrated after EWS acquired RfD.
