Day out to Leicester Wednesday 4th March 2025

I went down to Leicester yesterday hoping to see more of the class 99's on the depot there, sadly there was only 99005 on site
99005 with 69009 Western Yeoman & a UID class 47

also parked up was the NMT, which meant i couldn't see the class 47 parked behind the 69/99
