Freshly painted 59102 Village of Chantry passes Great Bedwyn on 6 April 2024 with the 6V31 09:04 Wembley Receptions 1-7 to Merehead Quarry stone empties. The loco had been released from Eastleigh Works the previous day, after becoming the first Class 59/1 to receive the orange Freightliner livery. There were no GWR passenger trains running, due to an ASLEF strike, so with nothing in the way, this train had missed out its booked stop in Towney Loop, and was running 47 minutes early here.
