59203 Vale of Pickering passes Froxfield with the 7A17 10:30 Merehead to Acton Mendip Rail stone train on 24 July 2008, running nearly an hour early. Note the use of wagons hired in from Freightliner at the head of the train. Unusually on this day the normally very reliable 7A09 07:12 Merehead to Acton 'Jumbo' stone train had been cancelled due to lack of a loco! Unfortunately Froxfield is another location where the growth of lineside bushes is ruining the picture. Various viewpoints around the Kennet & Avon Canal lock (just visible on the left) used to be possible.
