Wylam

66771 leads a weedkilling train through Wylam station, with 66797 on the other end. This was an out and back from and to Tyne Yard on 11th April 2022. The spray monitoring lights can clearly be seen; but the sprays were turned off as the train passed (West) through the station. This is presumably to avoid spraying passengers (sorry Sir. Thought you were a weed.) I was prewarned of the existence of this train because my DMU from Newky had passed it on the King Edward bridge.
