Trowbridge Tug and Turbo
Guy Vincent
DC Rail's 60055 'Thomas Barnardo' heading south through Trowbridge with the (SO) 6M52 0844 Tytherington - Willesden DC Rail Sidings loaded aggregates. This train is routed via the Avon Valley and Newbury due to the train's lower maximum speed. Occupying platform 1 is 165136 on the 2E60 0952 Warminster - Gloucester. 25.01.2025, copyright Guy Vincent.
Many thanks, Guy - an interesting train and the sun's out too - seems a rarity at the moment, doesn't it!
Kemble odds and ends
Ken Mumford
Today I went to Kemble Station to photograph a particular freight train. It passed me about 10 minutes early and as it approached my camera decided to malfunction - it was OK before AND after that train had passed!!!
However, I took some photos of some items in one of the waiting rooms on the London bound platform! I then drove home via Kemble Airfield [where I took some more photos], then via Oaksey where I popped into the church but it was closed. Next I photographed a bridge which I have been wanting to photograph for years near the Cotswold Lakes BUT I know nothing about it

Thanks Ken - not our usual sort of content, but very interesting - and 'tis a bit of a slow news day today!
