All Quiet on the
Westbury front.
Driver Alan Peters

Very little work has taken place over the last few months on the new sidings at Westbury on the site of the former engine shed, rumours these sidings were for GWR but it appears the sidings will be just more capacity for Network Rail

Westbury sidings 2. Colas Rail 67027 "Charlotte" is currently sat on the 'Stumpy Road' at Westbury, normally the Colas class 67's work Network Rail PLPR trains but 67027 is at Westbury for crew training in connection with the forthcoming RHTT season which will see the Colas operated RHTT trains work out of Swindon this year rather than usual Bristol Kingsland Road and Gloucester Horton Road. 17th September 2021.

Many thanks for your report Alan.
