56094 passes Compton Beauchamp in atrocious light on 3 February 2014 with the 6Z08 09:39 Llanwern to Washwood Heath (via Oxford) covered steel wagons. Despite the dismal weather, it was definitely worth going out to see this, as remarkably 56302 also passed this way a little earlier. After a dearth of Class 56s on the Vale of White Horse line, to have two in one day was almost like the 1980s, when they appeared daily not only on the oil trains but on the Wolverton to Stoke Gifford stone empties. |
