Bradford on Avon
Guy Vincent

Colas Railfreight today despatched three of their class 56 fleet south from Barnetby to Westbury where they have temporarily recessed pending onward movement to Eastleigh East yard.  I've seen it reported that the trio are ultimately bound for secure storage at Marchwood, presumably due to the drop in rail traffic at present.   Also included in the movement was 70812 which was Westbury-bound.

56096 has possibly never been to the Westbury area as several locals have no recorded sightings in their records going back almost 40 years.  Hopefully all three will soon have traffic to return to.

Best regards,  Guy Vincent
