A couple of horses graze in the field at Kings Sutton, unconcerned by the passing of 47306 and its featherweight load on 8 August 1991. After the demise of the Speedlink wagonload service, just a few weeks before this picture was taken, most such traffic was lost to rail. However, a dedicated MoD network remained, and other traffic sometimes hitched a ride on these trains. This is presumably the 6M79 15:08 Eastleigh to Crewe Basford Hall, but on this occasion has no MoD traffic at all, and is conveying just a single china clay wagon destined for the Potteries, probably originating from Furzebrook. This is exactly the kind of unremunerative train that brought Speedlink to an end!
