A chance find while on a Bridgford Bus 9 service worked by green spare Scania OmniTown 206 here as in this one, an unidentified 60 for DB Cargo UK arrives at Nottingham Station for a crew swap whilst working a very late running Kingsbury Oil Sidings-Humber Oil Refinery with empty blue VTG tanks in tow, it having departed 98 minutes late from Kingsbury and arriving at Humber 91 minutes late. The triple figures mark was certainly to be on the cards for the following stations:
Bleasby [BSB] 2 pass 1318½ pass 1501¼ 103L
Fiskerton [FSK] 2 pass 1320½ pass 1504¾ 104L 1
Rolleston [ROL] 2 pass 1321½ pass 1505¾ 104L
Staythorpe X pass 1323½ pass 1507¼ 103L 2
Newark Castle [NCT] 2 pass 1329½ pass 1511¾ 102L 2½
I guess this shows how late running the freight train really was and with no chance of an on time arrival after a very late departure!
