59101 Village of Whatley passes Hungerford Common on 27 September 2018 with the 6C76 14:39 Acton to Whatley Quarry Mendip Rail stone empties. In theory there were two more stone trains to photograph here within the next hour, but as neither of them had left yet, I decided to call it a day. This was a good decision, as the 6C74 15:35 Theale to Whatley left 70 minutes late, and the 7C64 15:26 Acton to Merehead left an hour late. That was bad enough, but both passed Hungerford running approximately two hours late, by which time the sun was setting! |
