It's all change on the Berks Hants line in 2019. While the change from HSTs to Class 802 DMUs will only be seen as an improvement by the GWR marketing department, the change from DB Cargo to Freightliner as the operator of the Mendip stone trains will merely be a change of traction. It will however see the end of the bright red Class 59/2s in the area. 59205 approaches Hungerford Common on 15 May 2019 with the 6V18 11:25 Allington to Whatley Quarry Mendip Rail stone empties. This was running 25 minutes behind schedule.
