It has been quite sometime since my last update, 5 months infact! However I’m back again with a new phot today. I haven’t really been following the Rail scene closely however I had noted thay 6B33 Theale – Margam had reverted back to Class 60 haulage in the last few weeks and as it was a nice day I was hoping one would produce. I soon found the gen that 59202 was going to be the power for todays train and I hadn’t photted a 59 on this working yet so decided to head out.

It was booked 12:12 off Theale however I saw a gen message saying it had passed Lower Basildon about half an hour early so I had to move quickly and I opted to play it safe and go for the shot at Shrivenham. I arrived to find a handful of photographers on the bridge so presumed I hadn’t missed it yet and my luck was in as within 5 minutes of arrival 59202 rounded the curve with empty tanks in tow!
