800018 Baulking 9 August 2022

800018 slowly passes Baulking with the 1G19 14:28 Paddington to Cheltenham Spa GWR service on 9 August 2022, running 'wrong line' due a signalling problem. Another problem saw the train terminated at Gloucester. Unfortunately because of the angle of the windscreen, the driver isn't visible, and so this just looks like a going away shot. I thought I was in for better luck, as the late running 6B33 13:49 Theale to Robeston empty oil tanks was in the queue of trains waiting to access the up relief line at Wantage Road. Unfortunately it traversed the supposedly closed normal line, even though passenger trains were still running 'wrong line' for some time afterwards, Not only that, but the virtually guaranteed sunshine disappeared briefly just before it came!
