37612 passes Hungerford Common on 20 May 2020 with the off route 1Z22 08:20 Tyseley to Bristol High Level Siding Network Rail test train, with 37610 bringing up the rear. This would normally travel via Swindon, but due to two Class 800 EMUs hitting some cows near Wootton Bassett, it was diverted via the Berks & Hants line. Luckily I was watching the train's progress, and as soon as I noticed it heading east from Didcot, I drove from Challow to Hungerford, arriving just a few seconds before the train came into view! |
