Excellent footage there Ian, and well done for filming at some unsociable hours. I've done the southbound diverted sleepers at Peterborough and Conington, but only with 90's up front - was at work when these triple 67's ran sadly.

@trainfart thanks very much :) in case you don't know 67005/6 are assigned to the Royal Train when that runs hence them carrying the Royal livery - so was good of the organisers to pair those two together and real surprise to see them.

@cmeonthemove they were doubleheaded due to the weight of the train and route it was taking as had some gradients to negotitate, certainly made a great sound - I would imagine the ETH was supplied by the lead locos routed through the 90 - the rear 67 I was told at the time was for 'shunting' purposes
