This was the busy scene at Fairwater Yard on Sunday 6th December 2015. Freightliner Class 66 No.66515 departs with the Empty Coaching Stock 5Z45 12:08 Fairwater Yard - Eastleigh Depot, hauling the coaching stock from the previous day's 'York and Durham Noel Explorer'. The 1Z41 Taunton to Newcastle was originally operated DB Schenker's 67006, which was later declared a failure after arriving at the northern destination. Freightliners Class 66/5 No.66515 was drafted in to work the return charter to back to Taunton. Having spent the night stabled in Fairwater Yard No.66515 departs back to Westbury where '515' was replaced by DB Schenker 66076 for onward transit to Eastleigh.
