- Passing under the A15 dual carriageway, DB Class 66 No. 66074 returns North to Heck on May 26th 2022 with 4E21, the 14.36 empty Plasmor blocks from Biggleswade. The tracks to the left are the original lines from Werrington Junction, on the former Great Northern East Lincolnshire route to Grimsby. This closed as a through route in October 1970, along with the Sutton-on-Sea branch and the ‘New Line’ from Bellwater Junction to Lincoln. Photo: Michael Smyth.

Crossing over the Up ladder and onto the new lines on May 26th 2022, Freightliner Class 66 No. 66533 starts the descent with 4L85, the 11.18 Tinsley Intermodal-Felixstowe North.
