66601 ended up at Maritime this morning and became my loco for a wagon set move over to Millbrook and then up to Southampton Cepntral to return Maritime. I think this version of the livery sits well on a 66 👌🏻

#Team70 70006 at Eastleigh during crew change this morning.
After working up from Maritime, I took extra time at Eastleigh to take as many photos as I can because every drive of a 70 now could just be my last 😢
