70809 passes Uffington in crisp winter light on 2 February 2025 with the 6C20 19:46 (the previous day) Hinksey to Hinksey (via South Wales) ballast empties. The train had been used to drop ballast in an engineering possession in the Bridgend area. This short train of ten HQA Autoballasters (two sets) fits just nicely in the gap between the masts.
