    Has anybody any ideas which loco this could be and where it was heading? It was heading Westbound around junction 31 at roughly 11:40 this morning. I was on the eastbound carriageway so didn't get a proper look, but I'm pretty sure it was a Hall. Thanks in advance :)

    6880 heading from GCR to Toddington?

    Edit... Ignore that - I read it as M6! As @D1002 says, probably 7828 heading to Ian Riley's works in Bury?

    Odney Manor left Minehead yesterday for Ian Riley's works, so possibly that if it stopped somewhere overnight?

    Odney manor passed us on the M1 going Northbound past Nottingham, so seems logical it would go over the M62 to Rileys

    Although I saw it East of junction 29, so that wouldn't add up.‍♂️
