It's many years since the last sleeping car services ran on the Midland Main Line and the only sleepers to be seen these days are of the concrete variety. Freightliner's 66.511 rolled past Loughborough on the slow lines with a load of new sleepers from the RMC plant at Washwood Heath to the Civil Engineer's siding at Stapleford and Sandiacre on 7 September 2016.
