One of four Siemens 'Smartron' single- voltage medium- power versions of the 'Vectron' Class 80's in service with Bulgarian private operator BULMARKET pulls into Iliyantsi on 24th September 2022. In plain 'Siemens Blue' 80024 devoid of any BULMARKET branding has just come off the direct line from Pirdop/Burgas, passing slowly through the station area immediately after fellow BULMARKET Class 55 No. 55 238 has shunted away a rake of obstructing gas tanks to clear the road. Heading south at this point towards Sofia Central, the departure and destination points are unknown.
