59203 Denchworth 23 January 2023

59203 moves off from a signal check at Denchworth on 23 January 2023 with the 6A60 08:32 Whatley Quarry to Oxford Banbury Road Mendip Rail stone train. The following 1L14 09:23 Swansea to Paddington GWR service was admittedly running a few minutes late, and should have passed by before the 59 moved, but for some reason the freight took priority over the passenger, with the result that 800027 & 800028 came to a stand on the mainline, while the stone train joined the mainline at Wantage Road and went on slowly in front of it!
