I had planned to see 5Q66 taking stock to Long Marston but as it missed out stopping at Challow, it ran some 6 minutes LATE from there. i did want to see it in the Purton area but with time against me I went to Marston Footbridge but I must have got there just that bit too late BUT I did see the following:-
[1] and [2] 6C03 - 66088 hauling Northolt Sidings to Severnside Sita passing me 4 EARLY.
[3] and [4] 6E11 - 66142 hauling Appleford Sidings to Milford West Sidings - 65 LATE
[5] 3G99 caught me by surprise, hence this going-away shot of 165 106 with the Reading Trancare Depot to Gloucester Carriage Sidings e.c.s. ON TIME
[6] Lock Jaw IET heading west.
