Its Saturday, and unlike the rest of the week two DMUs are deployed on the local services out to Bedwyn. As a result, No. 166202 has had to wait for classmate No. 166220 to leave the reversing siding before it can gain access. The FGW blue of the former has taken on a green hue from the platform trees whereas the GWR green unit opposite looks to all intents and purposes black, as is often the case. The reflection on the side of No. 166202 shows that the feather is off for the red signal by the bridge, so the DMU can proceed to clear the running line for an A4 Pacific rapidly approaching with a steam special on 12th August 2017.
