47739, 701512 & 701509 Oaksey 1 April 2025

Running 65 minutes late, 47739 passes Oaksey on 1 April 2025 with the 5Q89 12:34 Long Marston to Eastleigh East Yard, taking South Western Railways EMUs 701512 & 701509 back from their holiday in Warwickshire! This pair of units had travelled to Long Marston the previous summer behind 69008 Richard Howe. It seems that the usual coupling problems had delayed the departure of this train, and although the lighting is still OK, there were less shadows at the booked time!
