6C03 [Northolt Sidings to Severnside] hauled by 66077 pollutes the station as ti accelerates out of Swindon East Loop with a train of domestic and industrial waste. Copyright Ken Mumford.
0M47 [Eastleigh East Yard to Kineton MOD] - light loco [66710] 4 EARLY. Copyright Ken Mumford.
A quick dash - one of many - to platform 4 to photograph 1L17 [Cardiff to Paddington] with emu units 387146 and 387149. Station announcer said that this train was standard class only and no refreshments BUT Real Train Times said otherwise!!! Copyright Ken Mumford.
66127 shunts 6B52 from Swindon Stores [where it arrived 82 EARLY] then slowly pushed it into the Cockleberry Sidings just east of the station. Then caught me out by departing 6 EARLY 1410 hidden by an IET in platform 4. The working was from Swindon Stores [via Cockleberry Sidings] to Llanwrn Exchange Siding a few miles east of Newport (Gwent). Copyright Ken Mumford.
66127 continuing its slow shunt as a Cheltnehnm 5-car IET crosses from the Down Main to enter platform 3 were its pantagraph will be lowered and this train will continue up the Gloucester branch under diesel power. Copyright Ken Mumford.
59203 - was this 4L33 Wentloog to London Gateway?? Copyright Ken Mumford.
Many thanks Ken - looks like another interesting visit!
