21st December 2014
The Network Rail TRT/TRS made a rare visit to Taunton for around a weeklong period. The set arrived int he early hours of the 15th December as the 6X04 from Crewe. It then spent the following weeknights working at Wokingham replacing the track. Over the weekend of the 20th/21st December. The set returned briefly to Taunton on the 21st December 2014 before being sent back to Crewe, where it's normally based. Running a total of 169 minutes late, Freightliner Class 66/6 No.66606 leads the 6X04 07:50 Wokingham - Fairwater Yard through 40 Steps and into Fairwater Yard with No.66620 trailing on the rear of the set.

21st December 2014
Trailing on the rear of 6X04 07:50 Wokingham - Fairwater Yard on the 21st December 2014 was Freightliner Class 66/6 No.66620 coupled with five Network Rail autoballasters. Upon arrival at Taunton behind No.66606 the set was recessed in Fairwater Yard before departing at 16:11 to return the set to Crewe Basford Hall. This view also shows the continued building of the Taunton NIDR. The latest estimates seem to suggest that the road will now not be complete until the Summer of 2015, some six to eight months later than planned.
