NSE-liveried Class 50 No. 50017 'Royal Oak' and BR blue classmate No. 50007 'Hercules' are pictured at LNW Junction, Peatree, Derby on 19th March 2015 with nine loaded aviation fuel tankers in tow, the consist of working 21:15 Grangemouth Ineos to Sinfin Sidings. This unusual pairing on this working was a result of Colas Rail Freight Class 56 No. 56113 failing in the Uttoxeter area that required assistance from DRS Class 37/6 No. 37688, both of which were detached when the train reversed in Derby.
