69008 Richard Howe passes South Marston on 13 August 2024 with the 5Q85 09:30 Eastleigh to Long Marston, taking South Western Railway EMUs 701512 & 701509 for short term storage. This was running 49 minutes late, which meant that the sun was just starting to light the front of the loco. I resisted the temptation to travel to the Worcester area for the 5Q86 15:41 Long Marston to Eastleigh return working, as I guessed that the delay would only get worse, and cloud was predicted for later in the day. In the event 5Q86 left 88 minutes late, by which time it was definitely cloudy.
