69011 & 701005 Denchworth (Circourt Bridge) 21 May 2024

69011 passes Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 21 May 2024 with the 5Q88 04:30 Eastleigh to Long Marston, conveying South Western Railway EMU 701005 for storage. Unlike a lot of these previous workings, this isn't a brand new unused unit. 701005 has already been used on various test workings on the third rail network. Originally I wasn't going to bother with this, but as it left Eastleigh 192 minutes late, and this spot was on my route to Hungerford, it just involved a wait of a few minutes. It was 144 minutes late when it passed me.
