I was interested to see this naming as I love the Class 66 and have always liked 66 587 as I was PC 587 in an earlier life in the South Yorkshire Police and the naming took place on my 71st birthday. Painting it pink must be showing my feminine side.
Best wishes

Did 66587 come through Salisbury today or was I imagining it? I usually watch the freightliner passing by my garden at about 10.10am in a sober livery of green and was amazed to see a “Thomas” style pink freight in charge this morning. Lovely sight!
It went near Salisbury, but not through it. It went from Southampton to Romsey and then towards Andover.
Just after 10am, so it was definately in the area 🙂
