Tony, The train I mentioned is a Transfesa Service which runs from Fords Sidings, Dagenham Dock to Silla, Valencia, Spain via the Channel tunnel. It conveys Blue 40' Curtain sided containers on 4 Wheel Flats. Originally it was for conveying car parts between Ford Factories in Spain and the UK but it now also carries manufactured goods between the two countries. The contract to haul this train has been with Colas for over a year now since they replaced DBS. The train was hauled by 2x47s when Colas first won the contract but now is rostered for Class 66s which are stabled at Ripple Lane FLT which is operated by 'Russells' not as I said 'Malcolms'.
