It was not a good start for Freightliner when they took over the Moreton-on-Lugg stone trains from DB Cargo on 1 April 2019. Whilst 66549 was working the 6O85 03:26 East Usk Yard to Hothfield Siding loaded stone hoppers, it set off lineside safety equipment near Wootton Bassett, and had to have a couple of wagons removed. This was obviously a bonus for me, as the booked time passing Challow was well before sunrise, but here it is running 210 minutes late, and therefore in perfect light. |
