Friday 27 April 2012. Took the day off work and headed for WBQ to capture Ollie heading south. A great start to the session with Tug 99 ready to depart Platform 1 following a crew change, and then Tug 91 passing through heading for Liverpool Bulk Terminal. 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' certainly didn't disappoint, and not too far behind Colas shed 66846 was heading south on a light engine move to Crewe. A nice surprise crept around the corner 2 mins later with 46233 'Duchess Of Sutherland' crawling to a halt on Platform 1, before departing some 10 mins later. I had a quick look in Arpley Yard, before heading to Arpley Junction for 6F02, and then returning to the station. A very enjoyable session, and luckily the rain mostly kept off, we even had some occasional sunshine. It was nice bumping into Dale and Jeff who were slumming it up North for the day. Special thanks go to a couple of southbound Pendo Drivers for their updates as to Ollie's whereabouts.
