Running an hour late due to a points failure at Bristol Parkway, D1015 Western Champion passes Tumpy Green on 10 January 2024 with the 6M42 09:20 Avonmouth Hanson Sidings to Penyffordd Cement Works empty cement tanks, which the Western was using as a loaded mainline test run. It was detached at Haresfield Loop, and ran light to Kidderminster, while the train loco, 66714 Cromer Lifeboat, carried on to Penyffordd. Just a little bit of brightness, but the sun that the weather forecast had predicted didn't appear until later! |
