Running nearly three hours late, 59202 Alan Meddows Taylor MD, Mendip Rail Limited passes Uffington on 26 April 2018 with the diverted 7A09 06:26 Merehead Quarry to Acton Mendip Rail 'jumbo' stone train. Only approximately half of the train (which contained four distinct types of wagon) can be seen in this view. What a pity the loco no longer carries its Vale of White Horse name, as that would be highly appropriate here. I was extremely lucky to get this in the sun, as the sun went in several times from when I first saw it approaching in the distance! As you can see from the picture, there was an awful lot of cloud about! The train's normal route via Newbury was closed due to engineering works in connection with the forthcoming electfrication.
