66743 approaches Romsey with 6G14 (Redbridge -) Romsey - Laverstock - Woking - Eastleigh, working wrong line until the crossover seen in the background.
66743 was new as DRS 66407 in 2003 and was hired by Freightliner for some months in 2006. For a short while in 2009 was Advenza 66842, then on to Colas and then GBRf.
66715 VALOUR came through half an hour later, with 6G15.
Still in original GBRf colours, 66715 was built in April 2003.
The first Valour was a Great Central Railway Class 9P (LNER B3), and the GCR crest is seen here, reflecting that heritage. The general manager of the GCR at the time was Sir Sam Fay, who spent his later years at Awbridge Danes near Romsey, so it appropriate to see this heading towards Dunbridge today.
