'Lickey Banker' 66057 on the 6C01 Newport to Bristol east Depot steel train rolls through Filton Abbeywood. This loco is infamous for having 'run away' driverless for 14 miles down the WCML in August 2005. With the engine switched off, it began to roll downhill near Shenstone and reached a speed of approx 60MPH, smashed through two level crossing gates before derailing on catch points near Alrewas. Seen here with a driver on 29-6-7
