I was very pleased to be welcomed by Telford and Wrekin Council for the opening of the Telford International Rail Freight Park (TIRFP) at Donnington on Wednesday. After photographing and the site when it was still bare earth, it was fantastic to be stood at the smart new facility watching DRS Class 57/0 No 57008 by named by Theresa Villiers MP in the sunshine.
The loco was named after the terminal and the loco was a credit to the DRS staff who had prepared her. DBS also operated a container train into the site during the ceremony, which was hauled by a smart Class 66 No 66152 in its red DB Schenker livery.
I hope the terminal will go from strength to strength now it's formally open.
