Daytime Sleeper ECS
Bill Elston, David Tozer, Evan Gray, and Andrew Triggs
The main cause of lineside interest yesterday the 27th June was the empty stock working on the sleeper set back from London hauled by 57605/603 working 5Z50 the 07.35 London Paddington-Longrock T&RSMD Night Riviera, returning west for heavy cleaning at Longrock (which is due to return ECS to Reading on Wednesday 1st July).
Bill Elston was at Oath north east of Taunton.
