DCR Class 56/3 No. 56303 arrived at Nemesis Rail, Wetmore, Burton-on-Trent on Tuesday on 13th August 2013 to collect a quintet of ex-Fertis Class 56 locomotives, Nos 56038, 56065, 56106, 56031 and 56069 that are seen in this illustration in position ready for their imminent transfer to Leicester. However, it is understood that due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding the ex-Fertis Class 56 locomotives the planned move had to be cancelled at short notice. As a result, No. 56303 returned to its Washwood Heath base shortly afterwards. Blue-liveried Class 47/3 No. 47375 and Class 47/7 No. 47703 St Mungo are on the right; Class 73/1 No. 73134 Woking Homes 1885-1985 is parked alongside the building while two other Class 56s Nos 56007 and 56081 are parked on the left.
