Train 7X23 the 0933 Derby Litchurch Lane to Old Dalby powered by Class 20s Nos 20302 and 20301 top and tailing with 20142 and 20227 can be seen with a brand new 8-car LUL S-stock unit sandwiched between the barrier vehicles as the train approaches Moira West after emerging from Gresley Tunnel on the Burton-on-Trent to Kinghton Junction (Leicester) freight-only route. On this date 2 March 2012 the train had departed from Derby some 45 minutes early but had to wait at the former Drakelow East Curve Junction to await clearance to proceed as the signalbox at Moira West has to be opened specially for the passage of these trains.
