Type 5s star on charity charter

Five Type 5 freight locomotives from GB Railfreight and Cappagh starred on a Branch Line Society charter from Derby to Hove and back on August 3.

The ‘Cappagh Capital Campaigner’ set off behind GBRf’s 69008 Richard Howe and ran via Chaddesden Yard, Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, Kettering, Bedford, Bletchley and Watford Junction to Wembley Yard, where 60028 and 60055 Thomas Barnardo took over, running top-and-tail.

They then took the train to Chessington Stone Terminal via Kensington Olympia, Balham and Wimbledon.
