70801 approaches Uffington in a few seconds worth of sunshine amid the clouds on 8 June 2020. The train is the 6M40 11:42 Westbury to Stud Farm ballast empties. This is the second train of the day to bring a Colas Class 70 to the Vale of White Horse. The first is being the 6M50 07:59 Westbury to Bescot engineer's working, which on this occasion was 70802 running light engine as 0M50 (a common occurrence), and which in any case was long gone even before I left home. |
