Merry Christmas to everyone, I hope you had a good one! The week between Christmas and New Year is normally dead for freight workings but one working I was pretty certain that would be running was the Avon binliner especially as there had been two days holiday meaning a backlog of refuse to be shifted to landfill.
The weather was glorious with plenty of sunshine so I decided to head out, there are plenty of spots on the Great Western mainline to phot this working but I opted for the view at Shrivenham. This working has become somewhat erratic over the last few months as now this runs as required usually 2-3 times a week and even when it does run its path can vary by up to a couple hours. I arrived early which was lucky as the train was also running very early with 66621 doing the honours hauling 4V60 Calvert – Bristol passing Shrivenham at 13:01.
This will be my last update for 2008 so I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
