66183 and 66039 emerge from Asfordby Tunnel with a 0Z01 0803 Belmont Down Yard to Asfordby Test Centre (RIDC Melton). As with
most trains going to the Old Dalby test track, the destination on the schedule was shown as Old Dalby, but in order to get to Old Dalby,
it would have needed to emerge from the tunnel on the adjacent track and then proceed on the straight track that disappears behind the
bushes towards the bottom of the shot. The destination for this working was the Asfordby Test Centre, the former site of Asfordby Mine.
66039 was going to the test track for 'first in class' testing of ETCS in-cab signalling.
