59004 Paul A Hammond approaches Uffington on 2 March 2023 with the diverted 6A09 05:38 Merehead Quarry to Action Mendip Rail stone train. With only two portions, instead of three, and with no 45mph restricted wagons, it was running as a class 6, instead of the usual 7A09. The shorter train just fits this location. If it had been running with all three portions, it would have had two locos, which might have been a tight squeeze between the 25kV mast and the bushes on the right! |
