58002 Daw Mill Colliery traverses Didcot West Curve on 22 September 1990 with a loaded MGR for nearby Didcot Power Station. This was a Saturday, and the working timetable shows no coal trains at around this time, but there were often specials such as this. Normally I would be pleased to see this, but on this occasion it completely got in the way of a football special coming from the other direction, which I had specifically gone here to photograph! |
